Welcome to British Virgin Islands
British Virgin Islands are a group of about fifty islands in the Caribbean, whose only 16 are inhabited. They are located east of the U.S. Virgin Islands. The largest islands are Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke. Road Town, the capital and main city, is located on Tortola.
Virgin Gorda is known for its geological formations called the Baths. They are spherical granite rocks of volcanic origin scattered along the beach. These spectacular piles of gray rocks define delightful pools with emerald waters, white sand lined with shady palm trees. Here and there they form caves half submerged in the tide.
Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands, pride themselves to preserve many natural areas of exception, as its dense tropical forests drowned in the mist of the Sage Montain or coraillien funds of Shark's Bay, on the north coast. Connected at Tortola by a bridge, Beef Island is home to one of the best mangrove in the Caribbean. Road Town, located on the island, is the capital of British Virgin Islands.
Unlike the other Virgin Islands, Anegada is a coral atoll 12 miles long and just under 3 miles wide with a peak at 9 yards. Beautiful beaches border the island and the coral reefs of Anegada Reef and Horseshoe Reef form habitat for a marine life varied and abundant.
Jost Van Dyke is the smallest of the four main islands of British Virgin Islands, it is located in the northern part of the archipelago of the Virgin Islands. Like many neighboring islands, it is volcanic and mountainous origin. The highlight of the island is Roach Hill at 351 yards.
