Cane Garden Bay, Tortola, BVI

After a rolly night in Road Harbour we decided we’d seen enough of the big smoke and motorsailed down the coast. We looked in at the protected creek of Soper’s Hole but it was another place where anchoring was prevented by the amount of mooring balls now installed. We decided instead to carry on to Cane Garden Bay a large bay surrounded by lush green hills and lined with a white sand beach shaded by palm trees.

We arrived in the late afternoon and were able to anchor in amongst the well spaced mooring balls. There appeared to be a convention of sports fishing boats and we later learned that these are all from nearby Puerto Rico and they come here to the BVIs for their holidays. They created quite an atmosphere in the bay with families or sometimes all male groups enjoying a party all rafted up alongside each other along the beach front.
