Ha Penny
(Hey Penny, Half Penny)
This beach has many
different names but it is still a very nice St. Croix beach. Beautiful
stretch of white sand with generally calm water. Be sure to bring
sunscreen for this beach. There is very little shade, but it is long and
sandy. Good for walking, sunning, and swimming. There is some sea grass
in spots. Overall this is a very relaxing picturesque spot.
