The British Virgin Islands

Blue surrounds you.

Everywhere you go in the British Virgin Islands, blue goes with you. It is an ocean of adventures to experience, and your constant traveling companion. Whether you're feeling the rod-bending pull of hooking into a trophy-seized marlin, the warm trade winds blowing across your mainsail or easing your anchor down to drive into your own hidden cove - there are sixty alluring islands tucked away in the Caribbean Sea to discover, and Blue is your guide to each and every one. Blue is the British Virgin Islands.

Threaded in and around Sir Francis Drake Channel, the calm waters between over 60 islands are a sailor's open playground. Less than half the visitors here sleep ashore and the islands have remained as serenely unruffled as the sea. Tortola, the most bustling, is still a place for slow, delicious lunches and rustic, genteel ease. Sage Mountain's lush trails offer sweeping vistas, surfers carve the waves at Apple Bay and windsurfers cruise island to island on steady winds. Nightlife can be a street thronged with revelers at a full moon party or a dark beach lit by a single bar. Virgin Gorda's 'The Baths' are a natural water park of gigantic volcanic boulders, and the sheltered North Sound is a water sports heaven. Anegada, circled by Horseshoe Reef's fascinating wrecks, quietly shelters its diverse wildlife. Tiny, rural Jost Van Dyke has a few world famous bars laid back enough to get people dancing on sandy tables. Late night across BVI's bays and coves finds yacht lights swaying peacefully, bringing the canopy of stars to sea level. testing something.
