What sets St. John apart from every other Caribbean island is Virgin Islands National Park, which was established in the 1950s and makes up almost 2/3rds of the island.

Residents of Peter Bay are afforded a location that was grandfathered in with the creation of the Park - surrounded by lush beauty and blessed with spectacular views that will forever remain unspoiled by development. Looking south from Presidio Del Mar is the world-renowned Trunk Bay, and in the distance is the exclusive Caneel Bay resort, created by the conservationist Laurance Rockefeller.
