Tortola Area Trellis Bay, Beef Island This well-protected anchorage is fringed by a semicircular beach. It serves as the location for Boardsailing BVI, the Conch Shell Point Restaurant and The Loose Mongoose Beach Bar. At the Bay's centre is The Last Resort, an English-style restaurant whose owner, Tony Snell, is known for his 1-man cabaret act. Marina Cay Just north of Trellis Bay, it offers a restaurant, bar, small beach and moorings. It is fringed by coral and one should enter from the north. Road Harbour This is Tortola 's largest harbour. Road Town , which borders the harbour, is the capital of the BVI with customs and immigration facilities, supermarkets, shops, marinas, restaurants and a boat yard within walking distance of the harbour.
Brandywine Bay and Maya Cove These 2 anchorages, which also offer restaurants, lie just beyond Road Harbour . Soper's Hole At the very west end of Tortola, Soper's Hole is one of the island's 3 main ports of entry. The anchorage is deep and sheltered. There are several nearby restaurants and marinas. Ferries to St. Thomas and St. John leave from here daily Jost Van Dyke Sandy Cay The perfect desert island, located to the east of Little Jost Van Dyke. The Cay is uninhabited and offers a long stretch of white sandy beach. The water is deep almost until shore. The area, prone to swells, is not a good anchorage year-round. Little Harbour, Jost Van Dyke A quiet, easy-to-enter lagoon. The Harbour's 3 restaurants offer local food by the shore's edge. Great Harbour, Jost Van Dyke The picturesque harbour is fringed by a small settlement bordering a white sand beach. The anchorage is fairly well protected, and the holding good. Home to Foxy's Tamarind Bar and several other good West Indian restaurants.
