The Best of the US Virgin Islands: National Parks and Coral Reefs

St. John has over sixty percent of its land protected inside Virgin Islands National Park, which explains everything about how it looks. Trunk Bay is within that protection, a crescent of white sand and turquoise water with an underwater snorkeling trail marked by plaques on the ocean floor. The best luxury resorts in the US Virgin Islands understand that the park is the destination and position themselves accordingly.

Off the coast of St. Croix, Buck Island Reef National Monument is one of the few underwater national monuments in the United States. Private charters take you above elkhorn coral formations that took centuries to grow, and the water clarity makes depths that should feel distant feel close. Serious divers fly in from all over the world specifically for this reef.

What makes the Virgin Islands unusual is how much of them has been deliberately left alone. Two of the finest protected marine environments in the American system are within the same small island chain, each one accessible by a short boat ride.
