Buck Island Reef National Monument
Situated just 2 miles off St. Croix’s north shore is the Buck Island Reef National Monument. Protected through the National Park Service (NPS), most of this park is located underwater around Buck Island and protects a complete coral reef ecosystem and endangered species. Turtle Beach, on Buck Island, was also voted one of the top ten prettiest beaches in the world. This attraction is highly recommended for an unforgettable day of sailing, snorkeling and adventure. There is no entry fee for the park but visitors can only access Buck Island through one of the six National Park Service contracted concessionaires listed as follows:

The largest grocery store on the island is located about 4 miles from Cottages by the Sea on Centerline Road. In addition to fresh produce, you will find a pharmacy, bakery and pizza, liquor and wine, and vegetarian selections.
Directions:
From Hannah’s Rest intersection, take Centerline/Queen Mary Highway/70 east/ for 4 miles (past K-Mart) and you will find Plaza Extra on the left.
A medium size grocery store, this store is only 1.5 miles from away from Cottages by the Sea. It does not have the same large selection of foods that Plaza Extra provides, but it carries all of the basics that you will need to stock your cottage. If you are coming from the airport, this store is the most convenient to stop at on the way to cottages.
We have two full-sized K-Marts in St Croix which provide all of the same items you would purchase from any other K-Mart, including non-perishable foods and drinks, alcohol, pharmacy items, toiletries, clothes, swim gear, etc. There are Little Caesars Pizza restaurants and pharmacies located in both K-Mart Stores. Directions: The closest K-Mart to the Cottages is on Centerline Road at Sunshine Mall, 3 miles east of Frederiksted, and the other K-Mart is located at Sunny Isle Shopping Center
