It’s time to start dreaming of your next family trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through the British Virgin Islands with us.
On the island of Tortola is Cane Garden Bay, a crescent-shaped coast with clear waters, pristine sand, and lively bars and restaurants. Souvenir stall and vendors are also found here, as well as the chance to go boating, sailing and swimming. © Philip Enticknap | Dreamstime.com
The Baths in Virgin Gorda wow visitors with caves, massive granite boulders, tidal pools and grottoes. Two of the most popular spots include the Cathedral Room, a natural pool within a cave, and Devil’s Bay, a beach with crystal-clear water. © Idreamphotos | Dreamstime.com
Located east of Tortola is Beef Island, a quiet and serene isle with Long Bay Beach, a peaceful shoreline for swimming and relaxing; Trellis Bay, a scenic spot with a popular restaurant; and activities like kayaking, snorkeling and sailing. The island is also great for bird watching and hiking. © Jason P Ross | Dreamstime.com
The British Virgin Islands are especially popular amongst snorkelers and swimmers. Well-known locations across the islands include The Caves and The Indians on Norman Island, Monkey Point on Guana Island, Cistern Point on Cooper Island and Smuggler’s Cove on Tortola. © Alexshalamov | Dreamstime.com
Did you know there’s a manmade island made entirely of discarded conch shells? Aptly named Conch Island (its official name is Anegada), this island is accessible via snorkeling excursions or boat tours. These conch mounds point to the region’s indigenous origins thousands of years ago, when the Arawak people settled here. © Cezary Dulniak | Dreamstime.com
Mount Healthy National Park, situated on Tortola, occupies a former plantation that once produced sugar cane. The ruined, 18th-century mill in the park once belonged to the island’s wealthiest planter, and the plantation saw enslaved Africans cultivate the sugar cane on terraced slopes. © Jason P Ross | Dreamstime.com
