The 8 Best Free Things to do in Road Town, Tortola
The former haunt of pirates, the Dutch and the English and Tortola's main town, Road Town is within reach of secluded beaches and hidden coves. The island displays the same leisurely pace as other British Virgin Islands, with festivals and regattas across the calendar. Helicopter and sea charters and diving are popular activities. On land, the ruins of Fort Burt and the still functioning Callwood Rum Distillery provide fun daytrips. Catch a cab between sights or rent a car to get out of town.

1. Anegada Island
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 629 reviews
Anegada or the "drowned island" is completely surrounded by shallow reefs, and has become the focal point of underwater diving due to the many historic shipwrecks that litter the island's underwater depths.

Anagada Island is charming! The views linger in my mind now that we are home. Cow Wreck Beach is a must, as is Ann’s gift shop and sweet Ann herself, living the work dream alongside her honey and parents. Meet her. Snorkeling was fun and Ann’s painkillers are the absolute best in the BVI.
2. Rhone National Marine Park

4.5 based on 211 reviews
Park that encompasses the wreck of the HMS Rhone, a mail ship that sunk during a hurricane in 1867, and Dead Chest Island, both great dive sites.

This was my first wreck dive and I am amazed. I would now prefer to dive wrecks versus reefs. All kinds of fish, a few sharks and an amazing story about the Rhone.

For the last several years we had been making our way on foot from the cruise port to the Sunny Caribbee Spice Shop & Art Gallery for a visit (what lovely smells, sights and tastes!) and an inevitable shopping spree. We were sad to discover that this spice shop and art gallery were severely affected by the hurricane in 2017, and are now closed. However, the attendant at the tourist desk in the port told us that some of the Sunny Caribbee products are now available elsewhere in the cruise port shopping complex. Will be worth exploring further on our next visit.

The view is phantastic and the service as well. The lounge and bar itself is an easy walking way from the cruiseship port. Just walk around 10min straight and your right in front of it. If you re sick that the cruseships don't let you smoke your cigar properly, this is the place to go. They have a good humidor, lovely and cheap drinks and a sun terrace with harbour views. My always favourite spot on this destination for a cigar.
