Cooper Island had to hire botanists and green architects to help restore the island’s verdant beauty after Hurricane Maria devastated the British Virgin Islands in 2017. Manchineel Bay has gorgeous beaches and posh bars that you must see.
Cooper Island
Cooper Island, one of the most beautiful British Virgin Islands, has a fascinating history. It was once known as Bergen Island when it was administered by Sweden and Norway until 1905. Today it is home to the magnificent Cooper Island Beach Club, a relaxing eco-resort that is a perfect stop for yachts seeking shelter in the bay, or for lunch and happy hour. The area’s variety of fish, turtles and rays makes it ideal for snorkeling. The Cooper Island Beach Club Rum Bar has over 280 rums and is a great place to relax and enjoy the views. Cooper Island offers natural beauty, history, and a laid-back atmosphere, perfect for yachting.
Manchioneel Bay
The bay provides a safe haven for anchoring, and there are many exciting things to do nearby. The major attraction is the Cooper Island Beach Club, a modest resort featuring a restaurant, rum bar, coffee shop, boutique, and a beautiful outdoor lounge area. The beach bar and lounge face west, making it an ideal spot to sip a drink and take in the breathtaking sunset over the Caribbean. Manchioneel Bay is perfect for water sports because its pristine white sand beach boasts super calm, crystal clear water while the neighboring Cistern Point is a fantastic spot for snorkeling and turtle viewing.

The island of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands is the most eastern in the chain. The Baths, a major tourist attraction, are located in a restricted area near the island’s southern tip. Large granite rocks the size of cyclopean walls have been strategically placed just meters from the coast to form pools of emerald-colored waters.
The beauty of this beach is difficult to put into words. Hopefully, the photographs will help paint a more accurate picture! A series of steps and rope handrails lead guests through the boulders from The Baths beach to Devil’s Bay’s beautiful white sand and sparkling blue waters. Devil’s Bay is a popular daylight anchorage where you can swim and snorkel. A trail leads to Stoney Bay, where Atlantic swells batter the coastline and seabirds swoop overhead. This beach has remained beautifully pristine, with no restrooms, cafes, bars, or trash cans. A ‘must see’.

Spending a minimum of two days on this island is recommended. It is outside the chain of islands, about two hours’ boat ride north-northwest of Tortola and Virgin Gorda. The volcanic soil of the other BVI islands is in stark contrast to the coral and limestone of Anegada.
An island surrounded by just as many shipwrecks as fish, Anegada is best explored below the surface. Horseshoe Reef is a particularly good spot to snorkel or dive with centuries-old wrecks, such as the Astraea shipwreck. Sea turtles are aplenty, while above the surface you’ll likely see more pink flamingos than people. Learn to kitesurf at Keel Point, cruise lazily alongside the resident turtles on a paddleboard at Loblolly Bay. Take a midday break dining on fresh seafood at Lobster Trap Restaurant or swaying in a hammock with a novel and a drink at Anegada Beach Club.

On your journey back from Anegada, take the road that heads north toward Tortola. Stop off at the picturesque Scrub Island for a little rest on the way. There is a luxury resort and a tourist port where people may relax.
Immerse yourself in the tropical paradise of Scrub Island. Home to the luxurious Scrub Island Resort Marina and Spa, offering a range of services and activities for Caribbean enthusiasts. With its two main islands, Big Scrub and Little Scrub, this privately owned paradise is largely uninhabited and boasts excellent fishing opportunities. Visit the stunning Honeymoon Beach, where you can enjoy turquoise waters and soft white sand, or take a stroll through the island’s nature trails, offering breath-taking views of the surrounding sea. Indulge in world-class dining or a serene spa treatment at the Scrub Island Resort to end your day.

From the opposite side of Road Town in the north, you can see Cane Garden Bay Beach stretching out before you. The area is popular with the locals and hosts many summertime events, including parties with live music. The Painkiller, a popular drink in the area, is another must-try.
In his 1978 song “Maana”, Jimmy Buffett sang about a bay called Cane Garden Bay, which is recognized by its turquoise water and the lush hills that surround it. There isn’t a more authentic party spot in all of the BVIs than this one. A picture-perfect location with its long stretch of white sand beach fringed by palms and the backdrop of Sage Mountain. The famous Paradise Club offers nightly live music and beachside drinks to dance the night away.

Your last destination, Cooper Island, is located in the southernmost part of the Sir Francis Drake Channel, which is south of Tortola’s West End.
Visit Norman Island, where the cliff faces known as The Indians seem to be shaped like the head and shoulders of an Indian leader. The island’s Caves, located at Treasure Point’s very end, are still another major appeal.
The Indians
As you approach ‘The Indians’ from your boat, you’ll be awed by the towering formations that rise majestically from the ocean like sentinels guarding the secrets of the sea. Once you anchor, dive into the warm waters and explore the vibrant coral reefs that are home to a kaleidoscope of colourful marine life. Snorkelers and scuba divers alike will delight in the sight of graceful sea turtles, colourful fish, and majestic manta rays gliding through the water. Above the surface, the rocky islets rise steeply out of the water against the sun-kissed skies, creating a stunning scenery that is enhanced by the fascinating sunsets.
Treasure Point
A short walk on the mountainside provides amazing views. The Treasure Point caves are located at the southern entrance of the Bight. There, the rocky coastline gives way to cave entrances, allowing snorkelers to swim in and explore. The caves are not very deep, so there is enough light to explore inside. Inside the caverns, visitors will find pools of clear, refreshing water, ferns growing along the cave walls, and a soft, sandy bottom. Guests can witness rock walls and formations populated by cup corals and tropical fish while snorkeling in the caves.

The relaxing journey ends when you get back to Cooper Island. Downwind sailing to Cooper Island will kick off your final day. As you float across a stunning underwater landscape, reflect on the incredible journeys you’ve taken.
