Rainbow Beach, St. Croix
Blog Post - April 11, 2021
Rainbow Beach is located on the West side of St. Croix just north of Frederiksted.
This beach has a restaurant, Rythms, and lot of water activities. You can rent jet skis, paddle boards, kayaks, or jet boats from West End WaterSports. You can also rent a beach chair and umbrella to just relax. A lounge chair is $10 and an umbrella is $10.
They also have a beach volleyball court. The water is crystal clear, but with all of the boats I wouldn't recommend snorkeling at Rainbow Beach. You could walk a little up the beach to Sprat Hall Beach to snorkel.
This is what the entrance to Rainbow Beach looks like:

Overall, Rainbow Beach is a great beach to get a bite to eat, play beach volleyball, rent a jet ski or just hang out and enjoy the beach.
