Beaches · West End / Frederiksted
La Grange Beach
La Grange Beach sits just north of the Frederiksted cruise pier, between the pier itself and Rainbow Beach, and its food-and-drink options have changed hands more than once. The beach was historically home to Coconuts on the Beach, which has since closed, but the spot hasn't gone quiet — Aquaholic Beach Bar & Grill now operates along the same stretch, with picnic-table and bar seating that reviewers describe as having sweeping beach views and large retractable shades for midday sun. The beach itself offers a nice run of sand, generally calm water good for swimming, some natural shade, and enough nearby parking that it's a popular stop on cruise ship days, when Frederiksted's pier brings a steady flow of foot traffic within easy walking distance. Snorkeling here is workable rather than a highlight, and the appeal is really the combination of an easy walk from the pier with an actual working beach bar — not something every West End beach on St. Croix still has.
