Tortola
Tortola, while not the
largest of the British Virgin Islands, it is the most populous. The
capitol is
Roadtown, a charming village with many quaint shops and historic sites to visit.
the Joseph Wilfred Penn house, once home to the famous shipwright, now
houses an eclectic collection of early BVI artifacts and photographs.
Near the historic Post Office you can find the Botanical Gardens displaying the
native and exotic fauna. There are many varied restaurants within walking
distance of the docks should you decide to have a meal ashore. The West End of Tortola is located in a deep, protected bay also known as Soper's Hole. Once a notorious hangout for pirates, Soper's Hole now houses an array of brightly colored shops and restaurants. On adjacent Beef Island, is the lovely hamlet in Trellis Bay. Home to galleries and studios of local artists, Trellis Bay boasts many small shops where their work is available for sale.
