Best Beach in Tortola?

[anita0427]

Okay, now that we've established the roads are scary (I'm like that guy's wife - can't do it) are there any beaches near port that don't require an over mountain taxi ride?

 

 

Lol I am like you. Thanks to whoever posted those pics you just saved me alot of money. I cant do the mountains. I did them in Jamaica and I couldnt take it. Looks like I will be doing the baths:D

[anita0427]

well I told hubby about the roads and of course he wants to go. I told him I would do it :D. So we shall see.

We were just there last week. It's not that bad...and I'm a major chicken when it comes to taxi driving on the islands (almost got killed in Antigua, on a flat roads...but that's another story!). The roads are steep, no doubt about that, but the views are amazing.

 

I was glad I didn't miss CGB. It's beautiful. And we had torrential down pours on the way back to the ship...lots of flooding in the streets. I just prayed twice as hard ;).

 

Enjoy!

Nichol's has restrooms but they are meant for patrons so buy a couple of beers or some food and you will be fine.

 

There used to be a couple of public restroom across from the beach but they were always very nasty, I'm not sure if they are still there or if they have been cleaned up.

 

:confused:Haven't seen this asked --- I am bringing my own mask.snokel and vest -

but would need to rent my "fins" - is this available at Brewer's Bay ?

I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to that. I always bring my own equipment so I don't rent. I have heard that they rent fins at Nichole's but I can't say for sure.

There are places in Road Town near the ferry dock that rent gear - Dive Tortola at Prospect Reef comes to mind. I would rent from one of those places. Have fun - I will be doing the bareboat thing down there this year instead of a regular cruise.

I will be cruising with MSC next April and will be stopping in Tortola. Not sure how long we will be there, but it looks beautiful! This port definitely sounds like a beach stop!

 

Going to be researching over the next few months on what to do and how to do it. Dont think I want to book through the ship.

Hi, we are scheduled to take a tour from Princess to Pussers Landing for $39/pp. Do you think we can easily find a cab who will take us there for less money?

Has anybody been to Smuggler's Cove lately? Has the snorkling recovered since the hurricane? How much was the taxi ride per person? I have been to Brewer's bay and thought it was great i'm just looking for less people and some good snorkling.

Are there any beaches with walking distance of the cruise ship port? We have most of the day and I'd rather not venture farther than I can navigate myself back to the ship without using transport.. we are good for a few miles of walking.

No, the closest are probably Nanny Cay to the west which is about 7km, and Brandywine Bay to the east.

Tortola is a gorgeous island that is worth seeing by taxi or car.

there are a number of wonderful posts I would like to go back to and visit with my husband later. Is there a way to mark the post, like a bookmark?

That is a great question! You have that option on TripAdvisor, but I'm not aware of that option here. But I haven't looked at that and I will.
