Things to do in Road Town, Tortola: The Best Nature & Parks

January 23, 2022 Jacquiline Delozier

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.

Anegada Island

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.

Rhone National Marine Park

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.

Well worth the walk from the port for just a few dollars entry fee. Was really nice to wander through the gardens and look at all the beautiful plants and wildlife. Definitely recommend
