Virgin Island Coral Reef National Monument Details
Virgin Islands National Park extends beyond the shores and sands of St. John, and Virgin Island Coral Reef National Monument is one of those places. The monument is a series of marine areas that lie within a three-mile belt off St. John. Here the waters are rich with a complex system of coral reefs, mangrove forests, and seagrass beds. There is no fee to enter the monument, but there are rules to protect the fragile environment here (which are ever-evolving, so contact the visitor center at 304-776-6201 to see what's allowed and what's prohibited).
