US National Monument: Buck Island Reef National Monument - U.S. Virgin Islands (1961)

Buck Island Reef National Monument is located in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and was designated a National Monument in 1961.

The island is a pristine Caribbean coral reef ecosystem, and is home to a variety of sea life, including over 500 species of fish.

It is one of the few remaining untouched coral reef systems in the world, and is an ideal destination for snorkeling, diving, and fishing.

The island is also home to the endangered Hawksbill Turtle, which makes its home in the shallow waters of the reef.

The island was once a retreat for pirates, and is said to be the location of the infamous Captain Kidd’s treasure.

The best time to visit the island is between December and April, when the weather is mild and the waters are calm.

Since the island is a National Monument, there are no hotels or restaurants on the premises, but visitors can stay in nearby St. Croix.
