Grotto Beach

Grotto is a beach in the northeast of Saint Croix island, US Virgin Islands. It is also known as Buccaneer Beach. Entrance is free via the resort's gate. However, sunbeds are not free, if you are not a hotel guest. There are a lot of picturesque trees and palms, and almost no algae. Entry into the water is mostly rocky. However, there are also occasional patches of sandy bottom. The hotel staff can advise you the best swimming area. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
