Where to purchase a Trunk Bay family pass?

I'm interested in purchasing the Trunk Bay family pass. How many people does it cover (we have 4 maybe 5) and for how long? We like going to Trunk various times throughout our 2 week stay and it seems like the pass might save us money. Does the pass also cover other (or discount) National Park things on St. John? Is there a website detailing the pass and what it includes?

Thank you for the website link. A family member of mine will be there next month and if he buys an annual family pass does it specify their name on the pass? Can it be used by my family when we arrive in July since he won't be able to use it again the rest of the year (it's an annual pass after all)?

Also, it doesn't state how many a 'family' is so does it matter if the family is 4 or 10? The website doesn't answer those questions. Anyone have experience with the pass?

You could try giving the park a call:

I have always bought the pass at the gate to Trunk. It was $16 last year. They occasionally do ask for ID for the card holder.

We have always been asked for an ID when using the Trunk pass. It admits two adults, both of whose names must be written on the pass, and their children under the age of (hmmm...can't remember if it is 18 or 16). The pass is not transferable, but it's also not expensive. If you go to Trunk twice you are even.

Thanks for all the answers. I was hoping 'family' could mean my wife, myself and my parents, not just kids. Oh well.

For some reason, I remember buying a pass which covered Family + Grandparents when my parents came with us two years ago. We bought it at the gate. If my mind is making that up, someone correct me.

No matter what, I would hope that you would buy your own pass, rather than using your relatives. It's an easy and inexpensive way to support the National Park.

I *think* they have a Senior Citizen rate if your parents are old enough. They've checked an ID almost everytime we've used it.

My tax dollars and donations already put a lot of money into the National Parks, but that wasn't my point really. It was about what all the pass can cover and its true worth in my situation. I'm thinking we won't be at that beach enough to make it worth it. So, many beaches we like there.
