Trying to Find Your Dream Beach: Look No Further Than Tortola

If you are sitting at your desk looking at a computer wallpaper display of a white sandy beach with turquoise waters, it is probable that the paradise you are daydreaming about is located in the Caribbean. One remote location known for its beaches is Tortola Island.

Totorla is one of 60 British Virgin Islands located in the Caribbean. While the Caribbean is notorious for its exuberant culture and wild festivities, the beaches of Tortola offer the picture perfect setting to kick back and relax.

There are several forms of travel throughout the islands but no means of transportation does the island justice in comparison to traveling on a sailboat or motor yacht. One of the most appealing vacations is a private Caribbean Yacht Charter.

Although there are at least nine beaches located on this one island each one is truly unique. They come in all shapes and sizes, ideal for a variety of activities but all have one thing in common, crystal blue waters.

If you are looking for a prime anchorage spot to pull up a yacht and play with all of your toys then Cane Garden Bay is the place. It is located off of Tortola’s north shore and its location in the cove blocks most winds. This is a perfect place to go jet skiing, wind surfing, parasailing and snorkeling. It is also comfortable enough to anchor and stay the night.

Apple Bay Beach is an international hot spot for surfing. During the season surfers from around the world travel to this beach just to catch waves. For the sun worshiper, Elizabeth Island is one of Tortola’s widest beaches giving visitors plenty of room to layout or play volleyball and cricket in the sand with spectacular views of the British Virgin Islands.

Exploring aquamarine life along colorful reefs in turquoise waters is best at Smuggler’s Cove. One of the superlative spots for snorkeling, swimming and relaxing this beach is also one of the more challenging to get to. Off shore the terrain is similar to that of an African Safari but aboard a Luxury Yacht Charter you can be flapping your fins along the reef bank just 100’ from the Smuggler’s Cove shore.

The list of magnificent beaches continues with Long Bay Beach, Josiah’s Bay Beach Lambert Bay, Brewer’s Bay to Brandywine Bay. What other exotic destination has so many breathtaking beaches with a variety of vacation activities all on one island? Whether you are looking to bareboat a sail charter or board a crewed motor yacht, cruising Tortola Island in Caribbean is sure to bring you to the beach of your dreams.
