Is June a good time to visit St. Croix?

June is one of the best times of year to visit St. Croix, especially for warm weather and fewer crowds. It’s the start of the low season, so there are typically fewer tourists than usual, and you’ll save on travel and accommodation costs. Many hotels and vacation rentals lower their prices during summer and fall when fewer guests are booking.

While the island is a bit quieter in summer than in winter, there are still many fun activities and events to enjoy. Keep in mind that some local businesses may close for a few weeks to take vacation during the low season.

What to Do in St. Croix in June

Whether you're a local, planning a St. Croix vacation, or stopping on a cruise, there are many unique things to do. There's something for everyone, including kayaking trips, hiking adventures, local events, and relaxing on the beach.

Kayak the Salt River Bay

Kayaking the Salt River Bay National Historic Park and Ecological Preserve is one of the best ways to enjoy June’s warm weather and beautiful scenery.

The bay is a preserved natural area with over 2,000 years of fascinating history. It's also home to only ten studied super glow biobays worldwide, meaning it glows all year. 

Virgin Kayak Tours offers several guided tours, including the Bioluminescence Bay, Sunset & Moonlight, and Historical & Ecological. You can also explore own your own with kayak or standup paddleboard rentals. 

The foot-pedaled kayaks are easy to use and offer a relaxing experience. It’s also nice to have the hands-free experience for taking pictures, sipping a beverage, or agitating the water to see the bioluminescence glow.

Go on a Hike

While it can get quite warm hiking in St. Croix in June, the stunning views can make it worth it. Many trails also lead to the beach, perfect for cooling off. We also recommend hiking in the morning before it gets too hot.

Jack and Isaac Bay Preserve Trail is an easy-to-moderate 3.6-mile hike with a beach that usually has little to no people, where you can stop to relax. You can also make this a shorter hike by stopping at the beach, then heading back.

Annaly Tide Pools is another fun summer hike. It’s a moderately challenging 4-mile hike that takes you to tide pools you can swim in.

40th Annual Women’s Race

Join the 40th Annual Women’s Race on June 1st, 2025, in Frederiksted. Women, men, and children are welcome to participate in the cause.

The Women’s Coalition is a non-profit that supports and empowers survivors of domestic violence. Each year, the annual peace race raises funds for advocacy, programs, and services for those in need. This is a great experience for getting active and supporting a good cause in June. 

Take a Boat Trip to Buck Island

A boat trip to Buck Island is one of the most popular St. Croix excursions. Buck Island Reef National Monument protects a small, uninhabited island about a mile and a half north of St. Croix and is only accessible by boat.

Big Beards Adventure Tours offers half-day or full-day guided catamaran tours. You’ll head to Buck Island from the Christiansted boardwalk and spend a few hours or the day cruising, snorkeling, and hanging out on the beach.

Spend Time at the Beach

St. Croix is surrounded by some of the best beaches in the Caribbean – ideal for relaxing and doing water sports.

Some of our favorite beaches include:

• Cay Beach - Take a short boat ride from the Christiansted boardwalk to Hotel on the Cay, which has a beach bar and live music on the weekends. They also have chair and umbrella rentals.

• Mermaid Beach - Relax at The Buccaneer Hotel’s beautiful public beach on the island’s east side, where you can rent chairs and umbrellas. There’s also a restaurant, so you can order food and drinks to enjoy on the beach.

• Cane Bay - Hang out, snorkel, and dive at one of St. Croix’s most lively beaches on the north shore. It’s also across the street from a Cane Bay Dive Shop and The Landing, a popular beach bar and restaurant.
