America the Beautiful - Salt River Bay National Historical Park 5 Ounce .999 Silver

America The Beautiful Silver Coin (ATB Coin) - Salt River Bay National Historical Park

Humans have lived amongst the Caribbean Islands for roughly 2000 years. This history is on display in the Salt River Bay National Historical Park, located in the US Virgin Islands. Earlier indigenous peoples lived in relative quiet for centuries before Eurpean powers arrived and conquered in their quest for new lands.

This history is, of course, not the only thing on display in the Park. Visitors will find opportunities for scuba diving, kayaking, hiking and more. White sand beaches and a tropical ecosystem set this park apart from most in the mainland United States.  The thousand-acre park is located on the beautiful island of St. Croix, and managed jointly by the National Park Service and the government of the US Virgin Islands.
