Explore a few in one day and you\u2019ll enjoy classic beach bars, world-class snorkeling, fresh local seafood, and hikes with sweeping views of the islands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>You\u2019ll also notice the BVI offer somewhat of a throwback Caribbean experience. Instead of sprawling resorts, hotel towers, and chain restaurants, there\u2019s a tranquil, easygoing atmosphere\u2014exactly the stuff of which travel dreams are made. Read on for the best things to do in this beautiful place and get busy planning a trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Sip a Painkiller at Soggy Dollar Beach Bar<\/h2>\n<p><span>There are more than a few beach bars in the BVI, but the most popular\u2014and typical of the territory\u2014may be the <\/span><span>Soggy Dollar Beach Bar<\/span><span>, which bills itself as \u201ca sunny place for shady people.\u201d The waterfront bar is reachable via ferry to Jost Van Dyke, though it doesn\u2019t have a dock so you\u2019ll have to wade in from your ride. (That fact earned the bar its name, since waterlogged guests end up paying for their drinks with \u201csoggy dollars.\u201d) Once you make it to dry land, you\u2019ll find an open-air oasis, fronted by a broad stretch of white sand and hammocks slung from palm trees. Head straight for the bar and order a signature Painkiller cocktail, which was invented here in the 1970s and features rum, pineapple and orange juices, cream of coconut, and a sprinkle of nutmeg.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/>\n <span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/>\n <span>&#169; Photo by BlueOrange Studio\/Shutterstock<\/span><br \/>\n Stage the perfect Instagram shot at the beautiful Baths National Park.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n Photo by BlueOrange Studio\/Shutterstock Stage the perfect Instagram shot at the beautiful Baths National Park.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Wade around the Baths on Virgin Gorda<\/h2>\n<p><span>The BVI\u2019s most Instagrammable spot is also its most distinctive natural wonder. On Virgin Gorda\u2019s north shore, the <\/span><span>Baths National Park<\/span><span> encompasses rock pools hidden in the shadows of massive granite boulders along the beach. Formed by molten rock seeping up into the existing volcanic rock layers, the boulders reach up to 40 feet in diameter and make for a beautiful playground\u2014or photo shoot background. Hop from one pool to the next, pausing to bask in the shafts of sunlight filtering through the rocks, then follow the steps and handrails along the outcropping to the sandy stretch of beach at Devil\u2019s Bay, where you can swim and snorkel the rest of the day away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/>\n <span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/>\n <span>&#169; Photo by BlueOrange Studio\/Shutterstock<\/span><br \/>\n On Virgin Gorda, you can snorkel around volcanic boulders and even a sunken barge.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n Photo by BlueOrange Studio\/Shutterstock On Virgin Gorda, you can snorkel around volcanic boulders and even a sunken barge.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Go snorkeling at Norman Island, Virgin Gorda, and Marina Cay<\/h2>\n<p><span>The BVI\u2019s pristine waters and mild temperatures create the ideal environment for year-round snorkeling among the territory\u2019s vibrant coral reefs, underwater caves, tranquil grottoes, and extraordinary shipwrecks. To help you find the perfect spot, book a guided snorkeling excursion with <\/span><span>BVI Scuba Co.<\/span><span>, which offers group and private trips to Norman Island, Virgin Gorda, and sites surrounding Marina Cay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Off of Norman Island, the Indians site features an exceptional rock formation with a variety of corals that jut 10 to 50 feet up from the seabed. For something slightly more adventurous, go instead to Virgin Gorda\u2019s Long Bay, where 60 feet down rests the <em>Kodiak Queen,<\/em> a former navy fuel barge that was submerged in 2017 as part of an underwater art installation. An 80-foot-long sculpture of a sea monster accompanies the ship, with its tentacles wrapped around the hull. At Marina Cay near Scrub Island, you\u2019ll find coral-covered boulder formations surrounded by abundant aquatic life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Video: Under-the-radar Spots to Visit in the Caribbean,

The buccaneer-themed bar and restaurant occupies a converted cargo ship near Norman Island, reachable by private boat or water taxi. Enjoy open-air dining and a top deck for sunbathing\u2014or dive into the clear, blue water below, as many guests do after a drink or two. In addition to ribs, mahi mahi sandwiches, and chicken roti, a slightly raucous good time is always on the menu.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/>\n <span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/>\n <span>&#169; Photo by Caribbean Jules Photography<\/span><br \/>\n Hit D\u2019Coal Pot on Tortola for fresh local seafood.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n Photo by Caribbean Jules Photography Hit D\u2019Coal Pot on Tortola for fresh local seafood.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Taste your way around Tortola<\/h2>\n<p><span>The BVI is filled with exceptional local restaurants and food trucks serving specialties like conch, spiny lobster from Anegada, roti, and pate (pita bread stuffed with spiced meat, seafood, or vegetables). To get a taste, head to Tortola, where you can start your food tour at <\/span><span>J Blakx Jerk BBQ<\/span><span>. The popular food truck, which parks in Road Town, is a local favorite for its Caribbean-inspired barbecue dishes like jerk chicken, smoked pork ribs, and spicy shrimp. Also in Road Town is <\/span><span>Maria\u2019s by the Sea<\/span><span>, a popular spot for standbys like conch fritters and shrimp in curry sauce. Finally, there\u2019s <\/span><span>D\u2019Coal Pot<\/span><span> on Carrot Bay, which serves fresh seafood, such as blackened yellowfin tuna, fried red snapper, and grilled wahoo in lemon-butter sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Hunt for cacti in Prickly Pear National Park<\/h2>\n<p><span>Designated a national park in 1988, <\/span><span>Prickly Pear<\/span><span> is actually a 243-acre island full of gently sloping, cacti-dotted trails that descend to pristine beaches. The highlight is a path created by the National Parks Trust that leads from the <\/span><span>SandBox<\/span><span> bar to the top of a hill, where hikers can enjoy cool Caribbean breezes from the shade of a tamarind tree. Along the way, look out for exotic birds like American coots, black-necked stilts, blue-winged teals, white-cheeked pintails, and Wilson\u2019s plovers, as well as such cacti as Turk\u2019s cap, pipe organ, and prickly pear. When you\u2019ve reached the end of the hike, cool off with a swim or snorkel at scenic North Beach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/>\n <span><\/p>\n<p><span><br \/>\n <span>&#169; Photo by Jason Patrick Ross\/Shutterstock<\/span><br \/>\n Choose from 12 different hiking trails in the stunning Sage Mountain National Park.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n Photo by Jason Patrick Ross\/Shutterstock Choose from 12 different hiking trails in the stunning Sage Mountain National Park.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Hike in Sage Mountain National Park<\/h2>\n<p><span>A gift to the local government from financier and conservationist Laurance Rockefeller, six-acre <\/span><span>Sage Mountain National Park<\/span><span> on Tortola is the highest point in the British and U.S. Virgin Islands at 1,716 feet.

Get here via a one-hour ferry ride or 10-minute charter flight from Tortola, then spend the day snorkeling or scuba diving in the brilliant blue waters, home to an intricate network of reef mazes, tunnels, and drops filled with needlefish, bonefish, stingrays, parrotfish, and other colorful marine life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Divers can also explore the wrecks of Spanish galleons and American privateer ships just offshore, while sun worshippers will want to head straight for Cow Wreck and Flash of Beauty beaches, known for their calm waters and lovely sunsets.
