The Very Best of Nature Preserved
St. John is a getaway destination that calls to visitors to make the most of the sand and sun. While there’s ample opportunity to soak up the sun’s rays while lounging seaside, a visit to the US Virgin Islands National Park is one you won’t want to miss out on. As tourism and climate change leaves its mark, this national park’s purpose to preserve the natural history and ecosystems of the island is more important than ever. The story of inhabited St. John reaches back nearly 3,000 years into the past and the construction and maintenance of Virgin Islands National Park work to ensure that this history continues on for years to come.
Where Nature and Populations Collide
US Virgin Islands National Park consists of everything from coral reef systems to beaches and sugar mill ruins that speak to a fascinating architectural and economic island past. The park itself sprawls over 7,259 acres and creates a habitat for over 800 species of local plants. The waters that are embodied by the park are home to sea turtles and dolphins while the air belongs to migratory birds. When it comes to some of St. John’s most beautiful and popular beach destinations, many travelers are surprised to learn that they too fall within the jurisdiction of the park.
