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.

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.

Long Bay Beach

A perfect getaway for a day, this charming, half-mile strip of soft white sand is isolated and rarely visited since it is accessible only by a small dirt road.

Long Beach is fantastic. Warm water, soft white sand, no crowds and great for lunch is Denise’s, particularly jerk chicken with her hot sauce.

A lovely beach sweeping for half a mile, which provides a great place to swim, snorkel, sunbathe or just relax and watch the pelicans dive for fish.

Nanny Cay has the feel and all the amenities of a small tropical village, including shopping, dining and lodging options.

Great marina, showers, shops and laundry services. And the restaurant is very good. Nice menu options and the best Painkillers we had in the BVI. Staff very nice and helpful!
