Tortola is one of the greatest places in the Caribbean. It is full of beautiful white beaches, sailboats and local culture everywhere you look. The first place you must go in Tortola is Cane Garden Bay. This is a local beach where you will relax and find peace for an entire day. You can also find activity on this beach if you please. You can spend the day sunbathing, horseback riding, sailing or jogging. The views are spectacular. They look over the entire beautiful, full, green mountains that cover the island.

When you get hungry throughout the day, don’t worry…you do not even have to leave the beach. If you walk down to the end, you will stumble on one of the island’s greatest restaurants, Quito’s. This restaurant is locally owned and music plays throughout the day. The menu offers a variety of food and everything is delicious. You can sit outside and look out onto the water, enjoy a great meal and listen to local island music as well. If you want to check out this restaurant here is the website: http://www.quitorymer.com/. You can even stay here nightly as a hotel as well. Accommodations and rates are provided on the same website.

The next thing you must do in Tortola is treat yourself and venture out on a schooner for the day. If you decide to do this, it will be by far the most memorable part of your vacation. I would recommend taking the White Squall schooner for your day sail experience. It will sail you out onto the sea and take you to the island’s secret spots for snorkeling and swimming. Lunch is also offered on the boat for the day trip. Here is the website for more information: http://www.whitesquall2.com/. This sailing trip takes you to some of the most spectacular caves to see and swim in. This will make your experience in Tortola, an unforgettable one.
