Latest reviews on Tortola island's beaches

Cane Garden beach
10 Lila & Wes Wilson

We were a group of 10 and they were able to accommodate us without a reservation. It was convenient to reach the restaurant by dinghy since they have a dinghy dock. The restaurant has a new structure since Irma and it has a pleasant CGB atmosphere. The sunset views are amazing and all the food we ordered arrived promptly, was hot, and definitely met our expectations. We would definitely return to this place.

Lambert Bay beach
10 Liana Novak

We had an amazing experience at Wyndham Lambert Beach Resort. The beach is absolutely stunning, one of the most beautiful I've ever seen! Additionally, the accommodation is excellent value for money compared to other places we've stayed at in the BVI. The staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to help us with arranging taxis and dinner reservations. Just keep in mind that the resort is quite remote, so you'll need a taxi or rental car to get around.

Smuggler's Cove beach
10 Milo K.

This secluded beach is truly off the beaten track, requiring a scenic 10-minute drive along rustic dirt roads to reach its pristine shores. It's definitely worth the journey, though, as the beach offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We'll definitely be returning to this hidden gem. Plus, the bartender was an absolute standout, mixing up some truly exceptional drinks that perfectly complemented the serene surroundings.

Long Bay beach
10 Shalina Patel

This location is absolutely stunning. 😍

A charming bar and grill is nestled beneath the shade of some beautiful trees, providing a perfect spot to relax and unwind. The staff are incredibly welcoming and hospitable, making for a truly delightful experience. I can't wait to return!
