Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge
Located at the western tip of St. Croix, this 383-acre wildlife sanctuary provides critical habitat for leatherback, green, and hawksbill sea turtles, which nest on the refuge's long, sandy beaches. Guided turtle-hatching walks are offered. The beaches are open to visitors when not occupied by turtles (closed April to August). The mangrove-fringed West End Salt Pond, which lies partly within the refuge's boundaries, is a bird-watcher's delight.
