Tortola

Tortola has a special magic all of its own, yet it is a place where you can find just about anything you want from total isolation to bustling activity, curried goat to lobster thermidor or hair braiding to plastic surgery in a world famous clinic. Tortola is the largest and most largely populated island of The British Virgin Islands. Sage Mountain, at 1,750 ft, set amidst the National Park, has an unsurpassed, unique, magical quality, especially magnificent are the glorious sunsets that can often be observed from here. There are numerous, quite beautiful and memorable areas, with unsurpassed views, particularly along the Ridge Road.  For complete solitude, one can often find a beautiful deserted beach with sparkling turquoise sea and waves gently washing over the pure white sand or bask in the sun in the busier Cane Garden Bay with its fantastic array of excellent bars/restaurants.  The capital, Road Town is a busy thriving town and many overseas companies have set up businesses here. The British Virgin Islands is a yachting paradise with 60 islands to visit (many uninhabited) therefore sailing and tourism is now, generally speaking, the main industry and increasing rapidly.  The BVI was until recently known as "Natures Little Secret", but this secret has now been exposed and many have discovered the delights of this beautiful part of the world and return regularly to these delightful shores.
