The government is looking for as many places to ruin as possible, although they wouldn't phrase it like that. Look at Long Bay east, look at Spring Bay.
Spring Bay has been targeted for excursions by cruise lines? Are they providing amenities like at Long Bay, East? Next it will be Savannah Bay⌠The Carib is shrinking faster and faster as the cruise industry caters to todayâs âtravelersââŚ

I have seen Spring Bay on some private excursion lists, but nothing like The Baths or Long Bay East. Concerns have been expressed about the over-use of The Baths, hence the one-way path. The issue is with more and larger cruise ships, there is a constant hunt for new and different shore options.

This web page is ridiculous! The photo that they provide is not Spring Bay National park, but is actually Valley Trunk beach. This beach also lost all its palm trees during Hurricane Irma in 2017, so the photo is over 6 years old. They have been doing a Spring Bay excursion from Tortola for many years. Also, there are no amenities at Spring Bay.

I understand Long Bay, Beef has been catering to cruisers via cruise line excursions for some time now. That was one spot we enjoyed alone years ago when ships were inâŚNext stop - Smugglerâs CoveâŚ
Remembering a brief discussion years ago about an âaerial tramâ or something being built and new restroom facilities added to make SC more accessible and comfortable to day visitors (cruisers). Not sure if the tram was a joke but I sure hope so! Well, not an aerial tram, yet, but the cruise lines are now offering Jeep excursions that include Smugglerâs CoveâŚcanât even hide there anymore⌠đđ

So now that some time has passed, is there still jet skis and banana boat rides in White's Bay? I maybe rethinking of our stops or location all together now. JVD is one of my favorite places in the world to unwind and relax.
Cruising the local waters here in SC and GA. Love the BVIs and miss the Tradewinds!
