Walk on the beach - British Virgin Islands

Little Apple Bay

There really isn't much to do on land
nearly everything happens in the beautiful water which surrounds the islands.

You will enjoy island hopping here.

Life here is slow and friendly. As soon as you arrive you?ll start to relax. You really are at an out-of-the-way location here, free to really forget the cares you?ve left behind. It is the sea, the sailing, the diving, and the uncanny beauty of the beaches and shores that attract visitors to the islands. No hotels reach much higher than two stories?about the height of the tallest palm tree. The islands are home to no casinos, no large nightclubs, and, for that matter, no large towns.

Our cottage

Cliff House

This is the little cottage that we had for a week.
It was on Little Apple Bay, overlooking the sea and beach.
It had a bedroom, kitchenette, and batroom with shower.
The balcony was the best part.

Our friend

Bird with gift

This bird entertained us all week.
I would leave fruit on the balcony for the birds. This one brought me stick presents for a thank-you.

I didn't know anything about British Virgin Islands. Now, I know that it's a very relaxing place with great sceneries and empty (!) beaches!

I could use some Caribbean beaches & water right now. I should get started on my own USVI & BVI pages. Can't remember names of some of the bays on Tortola.

The beaches look so inviting--I imagine there were all sorts of birds to spot here. It looks like a lovely place to vacation...the Botanical Gardens would be one of my stops..thanks for the tips, Kay.

This page brings back great memories of the times, when I was working on cruiseships. I spent 2 winters in the area onboard of M/S Vistafjord and Sagafjord and remember the British Virgin Islands as a lovely and quiet place
