TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands One Day on Tortola

We will have one day....actually about 6 hours on Tortola before we get on our cat. Can you give me some "must do's". What we are looking for is good food with a view, beach bars, a little shopping maybe, maybe some sightseeing. Nothing like snorkeling or getting in the water. Wanted to try Bambooshay but it looks like it is not open on Sat.

Here are a couple of things we enjoyed when we had a land-based vacation on Tortola:

- If you are going to be there at sunset, I highly recommend going to Bananakeet. The restaurant is hanging on a cliff and you get a stunning view down the coastline. We enjoyed the food there too.

- You could have lunch at Sugar Mill restaurant. Its a tiny beach, but you are right on the water and they serve wonderful food.

- In Roadtown there is a street, I think its Main St, that is very interesting. It has lots of very old classic West Indian buildings that house shops and restaurants. If you like seeing old architecture, you would enjoy a stroll down this street. We had excellent rotis at the Roti Palace (not sure its open any more).

Enjoy your trip!

I'd head over the hill and spend the day at Cane Garden Bay, as long as there aren't any cruise ships in.
