- British Virgin
Islands Tourism Board. "Remote. Tranquil.
Pristine. Beautiful. The beaches of the British Virgin
Islands come in all shapes and sizes, and each one is
unique. They are not only beautiful, but are almost always
uncrowded and very often deserted. Palm-fringed, white
sandy beaches, combined with a translucent ocean that
teems with marine life and coral reefs, attract boaters
and landlubbers alike. Snorkel, sail, sunbathe, or shell
at any one of these coves. Even avid surfers will be
thrilled by the long north swells that roll lazily in
during the winter months on Tortola's north shore.
The beaches in the British Virgin Islands have been voted
the "best beaches" by Caribbean Travel and Life Magazine.
BVI beaches like Cane Garden Bay Beach on Tortola,
Loblolly Bay Beach on Anegada, White Bay Beach on Jost Van
Dyke, The Baths on Virgin Gorda, and Deadman's Bay Beach
on Peter Island were rated world class....
...The BVI has the consistency of the Caribbean trade
winds, clear blue water, islands close enough for a day
sail, and sunshine every day. Winds generally blow
northeast to southeast at 10-25 knots, and are sometimes
stronger in the winter months. From the main capital
island of Tortola, sailors have incredible variety in a
cruising area that is about 32 miles long and 15 miles
wide. A sailing vacation gives you the freedom to create
your own itinerary amid the sixty islands and cays that
form the BVI."
