Historical Highlights

Virgin Islands National Park is comprised of historical sites that date back thousands of years, from Taino petroglyphs to ruined sugar plantations and slave graveyards. Hiking paths crisscross the park and will lead you to various locations. Be sure to stop at the visitor’s center in Cruz Bay for maps and tips on navigating the park. 

Beautiful Beaches

This national park boasts some of the best beaches on the island. Some of the most popular are Trunk Bay, Cinnamon Bay, Honeymoon Beach, Hawksnest Bay, Maho Bay, and Salt Pond Bay. Trunk Bay offers many amenities and an underwater trail for viewing a coral reef. It’s one of the most highly-rated beaches in the world, but it does charge an entrance fee (the rest of the park is free of charge).
