Manchenil (Manchineel) Bay
Beach, St. Croix
One of the longest, and
most beautiful stretches of beach on St. Croix. The sand is soft and
white and the water is crystal clear and generally calm. Much of it has
a soft sand bottom. Access the beach from the south shore road...turn in
by the pink concrete columns. This beach is pretty secluded, but, it is
beautiful and has not been ruined by commercial development for a mile
or so. Warning: Do not eat the Manchineel Tree apples - they are
extremely poisonous and can be found throughout the Caribbean and the
Bahamas. It's also not advisable to touch the bark or stand beneath this
tree when moisture is dripping from its branches and leaves.
