Like many cruising people, I’ve been to the British Virgin Islands many times, and I think I know my way around. Well, turns out I was just getting started. I found plenty of new places on this insider’s guide to the best of the BVI from someone who grew up and still lives there, and I can’t wait to go back to try some of them out.
Here, for example, you’ll find the best anchorage, the best beach, the best watersports, the best snorkeling (at The Indians, pictured above), the best hidden gem, the best hiking trails, and the best-kept secret (Brewers Bay on the north shore of Tortola, which has no moorings, no beach bars, almost no other boats, but you do need to keep an eye out for the reef).
Who knows? On your next cruise or charter, you may find your own favorites. If so, don’t tell anybody else; save them for your return trip later on.
