Tortola British Virgin Islands / Leeward Islands Vacation Packages | Road Town | Sage Mountain National Park | West End |
Tortola is the largest and most populated of the British Virgin Islands in the British West Indies, a group of islands which form part of the archipelago of the Virgin Islands. Local belief is that the name was originally given to the island by Christopher Columbus, meaning "land of the Turtle Dove". The Island Of Tortola ~ Art As A Way Of Life ~ by Claudia Belleau - There are several ways to arrive in Tortola, B.V.I., and any way you choose allows you to breathe the fragrant frangipani blossoms, to uncoil the muscle of your mind in the tropical breeze. You might take a ferry chugging into Road Harbor from another island, her somber striped stack and loud blasts vying for attention with the aqua-shuttered flamingo pink houses and red tin roofs beckoning from Road Town. You might be arriving on your own vessel, or one chartered from one of the many Caribbean companies found here. Dec./05

Apple Vacations Online Quotes & Availability Most visitors land here and then quickly sail off to see other exotic landfalls in the British Virgin Islands. But roaming this lush, party-hearty island yields its own precious rewards. The British Virgin Islands are a chain of 50 islands, rocks and cays -- some of which are uninhabited -- that lie 50 miles east of Puerto Rico. Tortola, the largest of the islands, is less than five miles east of St. John. Visitors either arrive by boat or fly to Beef Island and drive across the short Queen Elizabeth Bridge to Tortola. White-sand beaches, such as Cane Garden Bay, are popular attractions. Cane Garden Bay also offers an abyss of surfing potential if you catch it on the right tide and swell. Located Just north of Apple Bay (a second good break that can hold swell significally longer than Cane Garden), Cane Garden Bay is a large bay that is usually filled with boats and activities. However, access to the spot is relatively easy. Park in the dirt lot located on the right side and walk out on the dock.
