Tortola Beaches
Long Bay

Situated just east of Smuggler's Cove in Tortola's West End, Long Bay Beach offers several advantages for visitors to the British Virgin Islands. It is easily accessible by road and there's a lovely resort with restaurant and pool nearby with plenty of chairs provided free of charge for all comers!

Some BVI visitors say they are not impressed with this lovely, mile long beach! They claim there's too much coral close into shore. Well, perhaps that's true, if you choose to stay right in front of the resort. However, if you stretch your legs just a little and walk west towards Smuggler's Cove, (it doesn't take long) you'll find a very nice, uncrowded patch of sand with excellent swimming!
