On the Boardwalk in Christiansted. Can’t beat the view of the seaplanes taking off and the boats in the harbor. Food is mainly pub food for lunch (The fish tacos are good) with nicer offerings for dinner. They have a bar menu too.

Northshore Rd. dead-ends at the Resort– the beach to the far west is the easiest to get into the water. Careful of currents though. Generally you can just tell the guard you are going to the restaurant or bar, grab a drink and head to the beach.

Not necessarily a beach, but the hike from Carambola resort is really nice. The tide pools are cool but be careful if the waves are rough as you can be injured here.
