US VIRGIN ISLANDS — A lone sailboat glides peacefully across calm waters towards a spectacular Caribbean sunset in the US Virgin Islands. The silhouette of the boat is dramatically contrasted against the vibrant oranges, pinks, and purples painting the evening sky.


Photograph by David Coleman. This captivating sunset scene, captured from the shores of St. John, showcases the natural beauty that makes the US Virgin Islands a premier Caribbean destination. As the sun descends behind St. Thomas, it paints the sky in a spectacular array of warm hues, ranging from deep oranges and fiery reds to soft pinks and purples. The silhouette of St. Thomas on the horizon serves as a dramatic backdrop, emphasizing the interconnectedness of these sister islands. St. John, the smallest of the three main US Virgin Islands, is renowned for its pristine natural beauty, with nearly two-thirds of the island protected as Virgin Islands National Park. This preservation effort ensures that such unspoiled views remain accessible to residents and visitors alike.
