TORTOLA: This friendly and diversified community tempts travellers with every sort of regional and international cuisine found in a choice of cheerful pastel painted restaurants, former forts, and sugar mills. Palate-pleasing menus feature West Indian specialties of fresh lobster, conch, turtle, spicy goat, and curries of every description. An authentic English pub serves Pusser's Rum, traditional drink of the British Navy for 300 years, as well as a popular fruit flavoured local concoction known as the "Painkiller."

VIRGIN GORDA: Virgin Gorda, or "Fat Virgin", refers to a protruding mountain noted by Columbus on this second largest of the British Virgin Isles. Only ten miles long and two miles wide, the island is known for its yacht clubs, quiet coves, and safe anchorages for bare boats.

Peter Island: This privately owned island resort is accessible by water only. It is a great place to stay with its excellent sporting facilities. Tennis, sailing, and diving are all available, and five miles of secluded beaches are there for those who only want to live in the sun.

Salt Island: This sparsely inhabited island has three salt ponds, once a source of seasoning for islanders and passing ships. Residents still harvest the salt for sale.
