British Virgin Islands.
Paradise Found - The Caribbean
The British Virgin Islands are a sailor's (and lovers') romantic getaway dream come true. Soft breezes waft through the islands year round, and the island's turquoise waters seem to twinkle with a million stars - day and night.
Much of the appeal of the of the British Virgin Islands is that they are among the most secluded of the Virgin Islands. Those seeking a restful (or quiet, romantic) vacation have just found their paradise.
The British Virgin Islands have fine, unspoiled beaches that are framed with steep mountains. The largest islands are Tortola and Virgin Gorda.
Tortola is the most popular of the Virgin Islands as it offers visitors quiet secluded beaches, beautiful natural scenery, and nightlife.
From the far east end of Virgin Gorda, to the far west end of St. Thomas, USVI is only 40 miles. Within this expanse are some 80 - 90 isles and cays, each with its own character and charm.
To visit the BVI and truly appreciate their beauty, several of the smaller islands should be visited...
Disembarking in Tortola for the first time, you may ask
"What do I do? First."
The creamy beaches are gorgeous, the scenery spectacular, the water phenomenal. Swimming and snorkeling are two of the greatest experiences in the Caribbean. You will not be able to sink in this marvelous water, and snorkeling is one of the most awe-inspiring encounters of a lifetime. A sport that requires no effort other than floating and enjoying the scenery should not be missed.
Visiting other isles, snorkeling in pristine waters, or experiencing the wonders of the British Virgin Islands, are just a few of choices available to the visitor here. Ferries, planes, sailboats, fishing boats, and power boats are all available for sport and sight-seeing.
