British Virgin Islands
Central America
Remote. Tranquil. Pristine. Beautiful. The beaches of the British Virgin Islands come in all shapes and sizes, and each one is unique. They are not only beautiful, but are almost always uncrowded and very often deserted. Palm-fringed, white sandy beaches, combined with a translucent ocean that teems with marine life and coral reefs, attract boaters and landlubbers alike. Snorkel, sail, sunbathe, or shell at any one of these coves. Even avid surfers will be thrilled by the long north swells that roll lazily in during the winter months on Tortola's north shore.
The surfing can be good, but you have to pick the right time of year, as the swell is inconsistent.

- Great surf in USVI and BVI if you need a boat in your search for surf Hal at www.Halaciouscharters.com is a great connection. 2/15/12 we surfed a cloudbreak reef 1/2 mile offshore between two islands by ourselves. Solo sessions in the Carribean are what it is all about.

bvi airfare - check out and airline called cape air. try to fly into puerto rico and take cape air into tortola. from there you can get anywhere via boat! If you really want an adventure, you can rent a sailboat with 2 cabins for the week for 2500 usd. check out moorings or horizon yacht charters. its cheaper than the hotels and you can anchor right off the break! good luck!
