The town beach beside the passenger ferry dock: shady sea grapes, a roped swim area and beach bars, with the bay's boat traffic as the show.

Practical

Position is the GNIS point for Cruz Bay Beach. Restrooms, picnic tables and rentals nearby; The Beach Bar and High Tide are on the sand (island guide). There is a designated swimming area; do not run dinghies onto the swim beach, use the Creek dinghy area. Wikipedia notes space off the beach for day boaters to anchor; observe the 6 mph limit.
