Welcome to the
Virgin Islands
on Paradise
Islands. The island
groups consist of the US
Virgin Islands of St
Thomas, St Croix and St
John and the British
Virgin Islands of
Tortola, Virgin Gorda,
Jost Van Dyke, Anegada
and a large number of
smaller atolls including
the World famous Necker
Island; which are all
part of the
Caribbean Leeward
Islands chain. |

The
British Virgin Islands are not as
developed and consist of over 60 separate
islands. The main island is
Tortola
with the capital
Road Town. These are unspoilt
romantic hideaways with white sandy beaches
and turquoise waters. |
|
| The British
Virgin Islands are one of the most popular
sailing destinations in the World attracting
thousands of private boats which can explore
the secrets of the 60 island chain and still
feel like there is enough space for
everyone. Little gems such as Norman Island
(the inspiration for "Treasure Island"),
Anegada, Cooper and Peter Island are just
waiting to be explored. |
|
 |
The
United States Virgin islands consist of
three larger islands of which the main one
is
Saint Thomas
with it's capital Charlotte Amalie. This is
a busy town and the most popular cruise port
in the Caribbean. The town of Charlotte
Amalie was named after a Danish Queen. |
| It has the
best shopping opportunities in the Virgin
Islands with a busy main street full of
quaint shops and a colourful harbour front
lined with old Danish buildings. The other
main islands are Saint Croix and
Saint John
(which is stunning). |
|
The Editor
of Paradise Islands chartered a helicopter
for the day and we are pleased to feature
many unique aerial photographs of the larger
islands as well as dramatic images of the
smaller atolls. |
