Whereas most of the Park remain open 24 hours a day year-round, some areas maintain closing hours.  The Cruz Bay Visitor Center is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and is just a short walk from the public ferry dock.  The telephone number is 340-776-6201, ext. 238.

The center offers exhibits, brochures, maps, books and activity schedules. Park rangers can help you plan your visit, including hikes, historical tours, snorkeling, cultural craft demonstrations, and evening campground demonstrations.

Park Areas – Three beautiful beaches and a campground are just part of the park facilities.  The picnic areas are wheelchair accessible.

o       Trunk Bay is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and has an underwater snorkeling trail.  Other facilities include a bathhouse, snack bar, souvenir shop and snorkel gear rentals.  Lifeguards are on duty daily.  These facilities close at 4:00 PM.

o       Cinnamon Bay has a water sports center that rents snorkel gear and windsurfers, and can arrange day sailing, snorkeling and scuba diving lessons.  A campground with bare tent sites, prepared sites and cottages is adjacent to the beach.  There is also a camp store.  Call 340-776-6330 or 800-539-9998 for camping reservations.  The campground closes to unregistered guests at 10:00 PM.
