10 Outdoor Activities in British Virgin Islands That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

2. Spring Bay

This magnificent Virgin Gorda beach, which is adjacent to The Baths, is a great place for snorkeling.
Reviewed By wheresgigi - New Haven, United States
Spring Bay is steps over from the Baths, and is like a little mini Baths. The Baths can get pretty crowded, so if you're looking for the experience of the sheltered coves among the big boulders without the crowds, stop here. There's a picnic table and palm trees...and the whole beach to yourself.
3. Savannah Bay

Virgin Gorda's loveliest beach is a long strand of powdery white coastline lapped by placid waters.
Reviewed By Eddie1219 - Marlow, United Kingdom
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.

A great place for underwater exploring, this secluded half-mile white sandy beach has reefs close to shore.
Reviewed By TDHSNJ - New Jersey, United States
This was our first time going to JVD as we were on a cruise excursion. We enjoyed our almost 4 hours of time drinking painkillers, shopping for souvenirs and eating some amazing Mahi Mahi sanwiches at The Soggy Dollar Bar. What made this so great is the absolutely amazing beach area that can be matched up against the best beaches in the Caribbean. Photos are great, but until you can experience this beach in person, they don't do it justice.
5. Sandy Cay
Overall Ratings

A small island west of Tortola is prized for its natural botanical gardens and pristine white-sand beaches.
Reviewed By Jwolff70 - Virginia Beach, United States
Visited Sandy Cay while on a day charter, and spent a few hours relaxing on its pristine beaches and exploring the untouched nature preserve! My teens enjoyed walking the island, and spotting hermit crabs, bright yellow finches, doves, and the unspoiled beauty. Great place for nature lovers- quiet, peaceful, and certainly enjoyable! There is a VERY strong current getting on and off the island, so parents beware of little ones, who may not be strong swimmers!
