10 Bodies of Water in British Virgin Islands That You Shouldn't Miss

August 10, 2021 Alida England

Sailing, diving, fishing and soaking up the sun on perfect beaches is what it's all about on the 60 idyllic British Virgin Islands. Largest island Tortola, home to capital Road Town, is a 12 by three mile haven of white sand, lush green mountains, ruins and rum distilleries. Underwater caverns beckon from dramatic Virgin Gorda. Island time rules on laid-back Jost Van Dyke, where swim-up bars serve delicious rum concoctions. Pristine beaches lure visitors to beautiful coral island Anegada.

Savannah Bay

Virgin Gorda's loveliest beach is a long strand of powdery white coastline lapped by placid waters.

Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands – Savannah Beach While our cruise ship docked at Spanish Town we decided to take a taxi to Savannah Beach, which was a short drive away. Taxis charge $5 per person for the trip – you will need to rebook the taxi for the return. Savannah Beach has no facilities save a couple of wooden shelters with integral bench seating so if you want a bar or café, this destination is not for you. We found the almost deserted beach to be the perfect place for a short excursion. The bay is unspoilt, for the greater part surrounded by wooded hills. In the sea there was a sand bar 40 metres out making swimming very safe, even in the lively swell we encountered that morning. A fabulous few hours ashore.

Cane Garden Bay

Centrally located on Tortola's north side, this is probably the busiest beach since its beauty is often compared to Magen's Bay on St. Thomas.

Reviewed By Smittens123 - Wakefield, United States

Great spot in Tortola beautiful beach we spent two weeks in an Airbnb short walk to the beach. Many restaurants and bars to choose from. It got crowded on the beach when the cruse ships came in but they usually left by three and we had the beach to ourselves. The days there were no ships were beautiful.

Brewers Bay

An exceptional bay and beach area on Tortola's north shore, which is protected by boulder-strewn barrier reefs, making this stretch of water popular for swimming and snorkeling.

Reviewed By williamhS3661NY

Easy to get to (by car), lots of beautiful white sandy beach, calm clear Caribbean water, pelicans soaring above you and diving around you, and very good snorkeling on the left side. And there’s a bar. And there’s easy parking.

A great underwater area for experienced divers, this deep bay offers spectacular reefs at 60 to 80 feet.

10. Pond Bay

A large reef makes this bay a prime snorkeling location.
