Trunk Bay Virgin Islands National Park Wall Art | Vintage Beach Print

Trunk Bay on St. John is the view everyone pictures when they think of Virgin Islands National Park, and this print takes it from the hillside above. A long white crescent of sand curls around water that shifts from pale jade in the shallows to deep teal offshore, jungle-covered slopes drop straight to the beach, and palm fronds cut across the near edge of the frame.

Why you'll love it

• Painted in the golden-age national park poster style: the reef shallows laid in as flat graded bands of blue, foliage built from thousands of small stamped leaf shapes.
• It names the exact place. Trunk Bay, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands, with the park date and the coordinates 18.33 N, 64.73 W set along the bottom edge.
• Trunk Bay is known for its marked underwater snorkelling trail over the offshore reef, and Virgin Islands National Park was established in 1956.
• Jade, deep teal and sand make a calm palette for a bathroom, a bedroom or a coastal-toned living room.
• Drawn in the same style as the rest of the 63-park series, so several hang together as one set.

Styling it at home

This is the brightest, coolest print in the whole series, and it does most for a room that needs opening up: a windowless bathroom, a narrow guest room, a hallway with no natural light. Keep the surroundings pale and let the water do the work. Rattan, white linen and unglazed ceramic suit it far better than heavy dark wood, and it makes an easy pair with the other island and coastal parks.

Shipping and care

Paper prints ship rolled in a rigid tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang with hardware fitted. Keep the print out of direct sunlight and wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth.

FAQ

How is this different from the other Virgin Islands prints in the shop? This is the Trunk Bay view, with the location and coordinates lettered at the foot of the poster. The other Virgin Islands designs show different views in mid-century, oil painting and watercolour styles.

Is a frame included with the paper print? No. Paper prints ship unframed; the framed options are the framed canvas materials.
