Apple Bay Beach is just over the hill from
Long Bay. Here, on any day in season you can see at least a dozen surfers
from all over the world. The bay is also known for its full
moon parties at Bomba's
Surf side Shack, as well as the Friday night fish fries
hosted by local residents under the banyon trees. In the evenings, you
can usually find music playing at one of the Bay's two hotels
and several
local restaurants. |

Brewers
Bay Beach, Tortola, BVI
Brewer's
Bay, once the site of several sugar plantations and distilleries (hence
its name) is just around the eastern point by boat or over a steep hill
by car from Cane Garden. Ruins can be seen on the beach and along the
road going out of the bay to town. In winter, the campground
here is home to an interesting group of travelers
who return
year after year. The water offers some of the best snorkeling on the
island because of its many reefs. |
