Things to do in British Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands: The Best Reefs

January 17, 2022 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.

Our Captain was able to moor our 50’ catamaran at a perfect spot early in the morning. The water was so clear that we could see the wreckage just looking into the water. Our family (ages 13 - 70+) observed colorful fish, coral, and other sea life in and around the wreck while snorkeling. This was the first of three diving sites which two of our group explored in the BVI and they were not disappointed

A 90-foot freighter wreck in a blue chromis reef with good visibility and lots of small sharks.

8. Painted Walls

These Technicolor box canyons give divers an explosion of color, with vertical walls totally encrusted with sponges and cup corals brilliant with color, plus hordes of flame scallops and Christmas tree worms.

9. Fearless

Anegada

A modern and conveniently located wreck is the Fearless, a 100-foot ship that is a diver's challenge and a photographer's delight.
