US Virgin Islands

Salt River Bay National Historic Park and Ecological Preserve are located on the island of Saint Croix. The protected area preserves upland watersheds, mangrove forests and marine environments. It also contains the only known site where a Columbus expedition set foot on what is now U.S. territory.

Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean, the Virgin Islands National Park stands as a breathtaking testament to the region's unparalleled natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Spanning across the idyllic island of Saint John and the pristine waters surrounding it, this exceptional national park protects much of the island's land area as well as nearby Hassel Island. With its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, white sandy beaches, and lush tropical forests, the park offers a captivating escape into a world of untamed wonders.
