The Many Beaches of the British Virgin Islands

Located on the north side of Tortola, Cane Garden is a beautiful, bustling bay lined with bars and restaurants. A wonderful anchorage with a dinghy dock allowing easy access to the beach. A great spot for watersports and swimming. There is evening entertainment with live music at both Quito’s and Pusser’s at Myett’s. A popular hangout with some spectacular sunsets.

Located at the most western end of Tortola. Travel down the dirt roads to reach this secluded and serene bay. With little more than the views and Nigel’s Beach Shack for amenities, Smugglers Cove is a hidden gem. With calm blue waters perfect for swimming and snorkeling this quiet spot is perfect for relaxing and catching up on that good book.

Located on the northern coast of Tortola lies this beautiful sweeping long sandy beach set amongst dramatic hillsides and calm blue waters. Away from the crowds, this is a peaceful and quiet bay with calm waters for swimming and a huge reef perfect for snorkelers. If you fancy a short nature walk head high into the cliffs to the Bat Cave, a huge cavernous boulder, and enjoy some spectacular views of the Atlantic.

Located slightly off the beaten track on Tortola’s East End, Josiah’s is well known to be the Surfer’s Paradise in the BVI. Take some surf lessons with Steve from the BVI Surf School, sip on a cold drink from Near D Beach Limin bar, or relax on this huge powdery white sandy beach. Sometimes the sea can look like glass; other days swim with caution due to the bay’s strong ground swells.
