Welcome to the
British Virgin
Islands on
Paradise Islands. The
BVI
are a group of over 60
idyllic and pristine
Caribbean
Leeward Islands with
white sandy beaches,
sheltered coves, blue
waters and a laid back
culture. The capital of
the British Virgin
Islands is Road Town on
the largest island of
Tortola. |

The British
Virgin Islands are one of the most popular
sailing destinations in the World attracting
thousands of boats where sailors can explore
the secrets of the 60 island chain and still
feel like there is enough space for
everyone. Island Gems such as
Virgin
Gorda, Norman
(the inspiration for "Treasure Island"),
Sandy
Spit,
Little
Camanoe,
Dead
Chest
Island
(where
the
British
pirate
Blackbeard
marooned
some of
his
crew) and
Jost Van
Dyke are just
waiting to be explored. |

Some of the smaller
British
Virgin
Islands
are
privately
owned
or have
luxury
resorts
and
include
Necker
Island
(owned
by Sir
Richard
Branson),
Peter
Island
and
Guana.
The
British
Virgin Islands have a population of just
26,000,
of which
80% live
on the
island
of
Tortola.
Only a
small
number
of the
BVI are
actually
inhabited
and the
BVI
are
known as
"the
land
that
time
forgot".
(The
first
set of
traffic
lights
were
introduced
in 2001
with
instructions
from the
government
on how
to use
them.
Jost Van
Dyke
only
had
mains electricity
for the
first
time in
1991).

Locals
are
known as
BVIslanders
and are
very
friendly
and
welcoming.
The
Editor
has
travelled
extensively
throughout
the
Caribbean
and his
personal
favourite
destination
still
remains
the
BVI,
especially
Virgin
Gorda.
