Latest reviews on British Virgin Islands's beaches

Leverick Bay beach
10 NovaTech Industrial Solutions Ltd

We stayed at this beach for a few nights and found it to have a small shop for supplies, a swimming pool, and an outdoor BBQ with entertainment on weekends. The showers and toilets were clean, and there was access to water and electric shore power. Jetski rentals were available, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was a bit challenging, and the ocean side could get windy with sudden gusts around the rocks. However, there were helpful shore hands available to assist with this natural occurrence.

Trellis Bay
10 Dr. Corbin Maxwell

It's a great spot for both locals and tourists to relax and have a good time. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, and if you're interested, you can take the ferry to Scrub Island or Virgin Gorda.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 8 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

There are few offers for accommodation in the beach area, so finding a suitable place to stay can be a problem. You can use the map search to get more information about this.
