Anegada
The flat island of Anegada enchants with its powdery white coastlines and vivid aquatic life. Positioned north of Tortola, the island is a Caribbean vacation unlike any other. Right here, flamingos and rock iguanas roam the beaches while reef edge the coastlines.
The island's most well-known natural attraction is the massive Horseshoe Coral reef, which is just one of the biggest barrier reefs worldwide and include marine life. The reef is simply a few feet from the sandy beaches, which are several of the most effective in the Virgin Islands.
Remote Loblolly Beach and Cow Wreck Coastline stimulate visions of the Caribbean of old, with untouched fine-grained sands and clear waters. For an off-the-beaten-path journey, lease a moke or truck to discover the island's special landscape and find secluded places. Later on, stop at the Lobster Trap for the lobster banquet of your dreams. A trip to Anegada is an excellent enhancement to any week-long BVI sailing plan.
Norman Island
Whether you're a knowledgeable yachtsman or a novice charterer, BVI sailing plans supply the ideal mix of enjoyable and relaxation. The BVI is the Caribbean's most preferred cruising destination for an excellent factor-- regularly cozy weather condition, reputable trade winds, line of vision sailing and over 60 immaculate islands and cays with awesome beaches and extraordinary marine life.
Norman Island is just one of the BVI's many fascinating destinations. It's reputed to be the real-life ideas for Robert Louis Stevenson's traditional pirate novel Prize Island.
While you're there, make certain to go to the Norman Island caves-- a remarkable collection of natural rock developments that are home to a wide array of tropical fish. After that hop off your sailing boat and snorkel all the way around the Indians-- 4 pinnacles that arise from the ocean and foster some impressive marine life. You can also get hold of a drink and some food at Willy T's drifting bar in Bight bay.
Jost Van Dyke
Known as JVD, this little island named after 17th-century Dutch privateer Joost van Dyk is the location to party in the BVI. The primary town of Great Harbour supplies a mix of dynamic night life and useful services, including a customs office for getting rid of into the British Virgin Islands (ferryboat travelers bring their keys; personal luxury yacht skippers pay small cruising license fees and taxes based upon their length of remain).
Most of JVD's beach bars lie on its south shore at White Bay Coastline and in Fantastic Harbour, bring in partiers, paradise hunters, and both. Seek a full moon celebration yacht charter at Foxy's Tamarind Bar, which draws a lot of watercrafts and people that local ferryboats change their timetables to accommodate the groups. For a quieter experience, discover the East Shore of JVD or cruise across to Little Jost Van Dyke and Sandy Spit for a pristine retreat. JVD is also a leading snorkeling place, with vibrant reefs gardens and underwater passages to discover off its coastline.
Virgin Gorda
The BVI's varied landscape provides a wide range of adventures. Vibrant Tortola supplies pulsing marinas and luxury hotels while the wilder coastlines of Jost Van Dyke and Anegada provide a different setting.
A yacht charter is the suitable way to experience the BVI islands with its mix of adventure, high-end and liberty. Consider reserving early for peak cruising weeks, such as the BVI Springtime Sailing Regatta or holiday season.
On the southwest side of Virgin Gorda, see The Bathrooms where giant stones create grottoes and natural pools. After that, moor at Great Harbour and eat at Foxy's Tamarind Bar & Restaurant. A dinghy experience to the neighboring Pet Island group of islets takes you to a remote coastline, where tale claims seafarers spotted Caribbean seals barking at them.
