Greetings from Virgin Islands National Park

Came every day early, so we could beat the crowds… more relaxing and physically invigorating than we can ever describe. There was something healing about the sun, salt water, sounds, and more.

Sincerely,
Natalie

    We honeymooned in Caneel Bay in 1972. It was magical, so serene, quiet beaches and delicious food. Bring back the cottages and lovely dining. Make it hurricane proof, maybe set the cottages a lot further back from the beach and allow the natural foliage to grow in, with paths leading…
