BVI06 TOURIST DIRECTORY - Experience The British Virgin Islands

I. Brandy Wine Bay is the only public beach on the south side of
the island and by far the widest in Tortola. It is a long, pristine and
well-sheltered expanse of white sand.
Virgin Gorda
J. The Baths lie west of Spanish Town and are a series of incredible
geologic formations of granite boulders that are as big as houses and
sit right on the beach. In fact, there are several beaches with names like
Spring Bay and Devil’s Bay along this coast. All are strewn with boulders
and little nooks and crannies where you can escape into your own
world of privacy.
K. Spring Bay, with its generous sprinkling of boulders and
crystal-clear blue waters is one of Virgin Gorda’s loveliest beaches.
L. Devil’s Bay is a powdery beach on the island’s southwest shore that
is reached by a trail.
M. Mahoe Bay, just north of Savannah Bay is a gently curving beach
with vivid blue water. The bay lies at the end of a tropical landscaped
drive that leads to a restaurant, beach resort and holiday villas.
N. Trunk Bay, on Virgin Gorda’s western shore, offers a stunning
white-sand beach that can be reached by boat or by following a rough
road from Spring Bay.
O. Savannah Bay, one of the more spectacular shorelines on the
northern coast, is one long beach with occasional rocky headlands that
act as natural separations. This gorgeous beach is popular (though
never crowded) and offers good snorkelling.
Anegada
P. Loblolly Bay is just one of Anegada’s many spectacular beaches, but
it stands out because it’s one of the few places where you’re likely to find
other beachgoers — and it’s a good place to have a bite to eat or a drink.
Q. Cow Wreck, on northwestern Anegada is one of the island’s most
pristine and is home to a small beach bar and restaurant.
R. Pomato Point on the southwest side of the island is a picture-perfect
beach that stretches to the west end. It has a small restaurant, bar and
private museum.
Jost Van Dyke
S. White Bay in Great Harbour is clearly the most spectacular stretch
of sand surrounding the island. Its long straight beach is steep and
postcard perfect. There’s also good snorkelling on the offshore coral
reef and some bars and restaurants to add local flavour.
T. Great Harbour is a long horseshoe-shaped beach with lovely white
sand and a sprinkling of restaurants and beach bars, however it remains
a sleepy and tranquil hamlet by day.
U. Sandy Cay, just east of Jost Van Dyke, is an uninhabited, picturesque
island ringed by spectacular white soft-sand beaches and swaying palms.
Accessible only by boat or yacht, the little island has graced many
magazine covers over the years and offers that magic feeling of paradise.
V. Sandy Spit, off Green Cay, is an even tinier islet than Sandy Cay with
the same attributes.
Other Islands
W. Peter Island has several nice beaches, with perhaps the most
famous being Deadman’s Bay. It’s a spectacular, wide crescent-shaped
beach bordered by tall coconut palms and home to the upscale Peter
Island Resort.
X. Cooper Island has a great beach in Manchioneel Bay, with its soft
sand and lots of swaying palms. Here you’ll find the Cooper Island
Beach Club, which is a perfect place to sip a cocktail while
enjoying the sunset.
Y. Vixen Point on Prickly Pear, just north of Virgin Gorda, is a long
swath of white sand with a beach bar and shop for watersports rentals.
It’s a favourite among boaters and guests from neighbouring islands.
