By all means take a day trip to the BVI while you're here. It's a fun day and worth the price. Take in Jost Van Dyke and definitely snorkel the Indians and have lunch at the Willy T in the Bight at Norman Islands. These are “do not miss” things to do while you're here. Jost is known for their beach bars. One of our favorite islands.

Noted as one of the world's most beautiful beaches by both Conde Nast and National Geographic, it is a must see. Great for families.

National Geographic has rated the Mountain Top view of Magens Bay as one of the 10 best views in the world. Also home of the world famous Banana Daiquiri.

Great for snorkeling. Located next to Coral World Ocean Park on the northeast shore. Great for snorkeling. The beach is lined with vendors selling just about everything beach goers demand including food, drinks, and souvenirs, but the translucent waters (some report visibility of up to 100 feet!) are full of tropical fish.

Off the beaten path, secluded. Accessed by boat or hiking. If you are not comfortable hiking or climbing rocks this is not the beach for you. Head to Dorothea Beach and follow the rocks along the coast to Neltjeberg Bay. Try to go at low tide. You can also hike through the trees. If you think you’ve arrived and the beach seems small, climb over the next rock area and you will probably see Neltjeberg Beach. This beach is AMAZING and one of our favorites on the island.

Hull Bay Beach is a quiet beach in the Northside of the island. It is frequented by locals and dogs. Many small fishing boats are anchored at the beach. You can catch great sunsets certain times of the year and there is a really neat bar across the street.
