Boiler Bay is a beach on the north side of St. Croix's far East End, next to Cramer's Park, which is off Route 82 on the way to Point Udall. It lies inside the St. Croix East End Marine Park. The Department of Planning and Natural Resources (DPNR) describes Boiler Bay and Brown Bay as popular local beaches and critical habitat for endangered, migratory and native species. In May 2025 DPNR started a project at both to upgrade the parking areas and walking paths and to add erosion control and better stormwater drainage to protect water quality. There are no facilities, so bring water and shade, and no lifeguards are on duty. DPNR does not include Boiler Bay in its weekly water testing. Check the marine park's zone rules before fishing.
