Cane Garden Bay Beach, Tortola BVI
Some of the most gorgeous land that you’ll ever come across is the British Virgin Islands. If you’re a big nature fan, the BVI has just what you’re looking for on the exquisite island of Tortola. Though a diminutive island, it’s the BVI’s biggest and certainly has the most surprises. One of the most surprising finds is the gorgeous landscape of Cane Garden Bay. You’ll be sure to never have been more awestruck in your life.
One of the biggest surprises about Cane Garden Bay is that it’s actually located in Tortola’s capital, Road Town. As a tourist heavy city, Road Town has the mark of commercialism all over it. However, just over the mountain that separates Road Town from nature, you’ll find something of an oasis. The water is a deep turquoise and is just as beautiful from the beach as it is from the eyes of the pelicans that fly overhead. It’s most certainly a busy beach, located relatively close to Road Town; however, that hasn’t changed its natural grace and wonder. Sailors, sunbathers, and swimmers alike come to this beach to take in the rays of the sun and dip their toes in the warm waters of the Caribbean.
If you’re a big water sports buff, you’ll adore Cane Garden Bay. It’s a great spot for those who like to get up close and personal with the underwater wildlife that inhabits the Caribbean Sea. You’ll get a chance to do a bit of snorkeling as well as some incredible diving. If you’re just an overall fan of nature, then there’s another surprise in store for you. Horseback riding is a major attraction on Cane Garden Bay in particular and Tortola in general. You’ll be able to stride along the shoreline with ease and feel as though you’ve been thrust right in the middle of a fairytale --if not a romance novel.
There are great opportunities for you sample some of the divine cuisine of the Caribbean. There’s nothing quite like sipping on some Caribbean authentic spiced rum while watching the sunset over the glorious sea. If you’re a boater, yet another surprise awaits you. You’ll be able to hear the rhythms of the Caribbean as the local celebrity, Quito Rymer, blasts out his incredible music over the water at his very own restaurant --Quito’s Gazebo. Cane Garden Bay certainly is a surprising stretch of land. Take a trip over the mountains and be blown away.
