Smuggler’s Cove Beach
Smuggler’s Cove Beach (near West End, Tortola) — About 25 minutes out of Road Town, forty five from the airport and five to ten from West End, Smugglers Cove is one of the most magnificent beaches on Tortola. Accessed by a little winding dirt track and shaded with palm trees and sea grapes the beach is splendid with its white sands in a perfect little cove that is backed by a sparsely populated and exclusive residential area. The beautiful clear water is flat and bright blue. Pelicans can be spotted preying on the fish, while snorkelers enjoy the underwater life. There is a reef close to the beach so a nice dive directly from the shores is ideal and the water is very clear and calm. Smugglers Cove is the most idyllic beach in the BVI and favored by many visitors.
