Description of Coral World Ocean Park

Coral World Ocean Park is a biosphere marine preserve situated 4 mi (6 km) Northeast of Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas. The unique feature of the park is that its water comes directly from an Atlantic ocean and goes back into the sea. So there is no requirement to clean water, add any minerals or treat it in any other way. Its numerous exhibits show various animals that are native to the region and the US Virgin Islands. Another notable feature of the Coral World Ocean Park is the Underwater Observatory Tower that goes down 20 feet below the surface of the sea with windows for looking and watching ocean life in its natural habit. Gift shops and restaurants are also found on the site.
