Virgin Islands is best known for its dozens of post card perfect white
sand beaches, turquoise bays abounding in colorful corals and rainbows
of tropical fish and endless vistas of green velvet hills. Only nine miles
long and three miles wide, two thirds of the island is the Virgin Islands
National Park, so its spectacular beaches and virgin forests will remain
undeveloped for generations to come and be accessible to all without charge.
There are tours of the National Park by Jeep or safari bus and hikes on
spectacular tails led by Park Rangers who enrich the experience with talks
on the island's history and geology as well as its flora and fauna.
