Cottongarden Bay beach

Cottongarden Bay is a beach on the east side of Saint Croix Island, US Virgin Islands. This is a great tropical beach being almost without algae. There are many trees, but just a few palms. Swimming is comfortable. However, water's edge is rocky in occasional areas. There are some campers on the beach. But the place never becomes overcrowded. Shore and seabed: sand, rocks. [edit]
