There is no public live webcam on St. Croix that we can embed — not at Christiansted, not at Frederiksted, and not at Cane Bay. Rather than pad this page with a still photo or a dead link, here is exactly what we do have: the nearest live cameras in the territory, and live St. Croix weather, cruise-ship and beach data that updates every day.
The nearest public live cameras are about 40 miles north, on St. Thomas and Water Island. They will not show you St. Croix — they are a different island across open Caribbean water — but they do give a reasonable read on weather moving through the territory.
Live from Sapphire Beach on the east end of St. Thomas, near Red Hook — a white-sand beach with views across the water to St. John.
What to watch for: Sapphire faces east into the trade winds, which makes it the first St. Thomas beach to show sargassum and the first to show a building east swell. St. John and Great St. James sit on the horizon.
Live from Lime Out's floating taco bar in Lindbergh Bay, St. Thomas — just off the beach near the airport.
What to watch for: Lindbergh Bay sits on the south-west shore directly under the Cyril E. King (STT) approach, so departing and arriving aircraft cross the frame all day. A waterline view of a normally sheltered south-facing bay.
Live from Dinghy's Beach Bar and Grill looking down Honeymoon Beach on Water Island — the fourth U.S. Virgin Island, a ten-minute ferry from Crown Bay Marina on St. Thomas. The frame refreshes every two minutes; the continuous stream plays at SkylineWebcams.
What to watch for: The only live camera on Water Island. Honeymoon Beach faces north-east into Druif Bay, so it is sheltered from the prevailing swell and the water is usually flat. Count the boats on the mooring balls to gauge how busy the beach will be.
A live camera page is only worth anything if the camera is live. For a camera to appear on this site it has to publish a public feed we can legally embed — a YouTube live stream, an open player URL, or a still image the operator refreshes server-side. St. Croix has no such feed at the moment. Some St. Croix businesses run cameras for their own sites that are same-origin locked or behind a session token, which means an embed here would render an empty box.
If that changes we will add it. St. Croix is the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands and the search demand for a live view of it is real; the gap is on the supply side, not ours.
Most people looking for a St. Croix camera want one of three things: what the weather is doing, whether a cruise ship is in, or what the water looks like at a specific beach. All three are answerable without a camera, and all three update daily.
St. Croix has more named beaches than St. Thomas and St. John combined — the north shore around Cane Bay is the diving coast, with the Cane Bay wall dropping off a few hundred feet from shore, while Sandy Point on the south-west end is the territory's longest beach and a protected sea-turtle nesting site.
St. Croix sits about 40 miles south of St. Thomas across open Caribbean water, so it is not a casual day trip the way St. John is. You can fly direct into Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX), take the Seaborne seaplane from downtown Charlotte Amalie to downtown Christiansted in about 25 minutes, or take the sea ferry from Blyden Terminal to Gallows Bay in about two hours.
Not one that publishes a public, embeddable feed. Some St. Croix businesses run cameras on their own sites, but those are same-origin locked or token-protected, so they cannot be shown elsewhere. The nearest public live cameras are about 40 miles north on St. Thomas and Water Island.
No public live stream for either town. For Frederiksted, which is the cruise pier, the daily cruise-ship schedule shows which ships are alongside today with passenger counts and arrival and departure times.
Sapphire Beach on the east end of St. Thomas, about 40 miles north across open water. It will not show you St. Croix, but it does give a read on weather moving through the territory.
The weather page carries the current conditions and a 7-day forecast, the cruise-ship page shows which ships are in Frederiksted today, and the sargassum satellite map shows seaweed drifting toward the island's coasts.
About 40 miles south, across open Caribbean water. The Seaborne seaplane crosses in about 25 minutes downtown to downtown; the sea ferry takes about two hours.
Streams are provided by third parties and may occasionally be offline. VIslandGuide links to publicly available live feeds and does not operate the cameras. Where an operator publishes a still image rather than a continuous stream, the camera above says so and states its refresh interval.
