Cane Garden Bay: Tortola’s most beautiful beach. At the bay you’ll find a powdery white-brown fine sandy beach to the crystal clear turquoise Caribbean Sea.
Smuggler’s Cove: Fine-grained white sandy beach fringed with tropical shrubs and waving palms. The seawater is crystal clear and the wave heights are minimum on quiet days. The beach offers stunning views of nearby islands Jost Van Dyke and Little Jost Van Dyke.
Long Bay: this is the longest beach on the island. The waves are quite big, so for surfers this is an ideal spot.
White Bay: It is home to a variety of bars, the most famous probably being the Soggy Dollar Bar – it gets its name from the fact that White Bay is accessible only by boat, and most patrons have to swim in and will hand over soggy dollar bills.
Apple Bay: Situated on the north side of Tortola, Apple Bay offers some of the best surf in the British Virgin Islands. The beach is not one of the more popular destinations for tourists, and the lack of people makes it a local favorite.
The Baths: Are the premier travel destination in the Virgin Islands, both British and US, so no trip is really complete without a visit here. Relax on the beach or snorkel around the bizarre boulders.
