Tortola has some great beaches. A taxi to a well known spot was my go to. It however has been so long I can only just suggest doing a google search of good beaches and go from there. Try to find a spot with washrooms/small restaurant etc.
They do drive on the wrong side of the road there. (If you are from North America or most of earth lol) Here is where my first ride as a passenger in a driver on the left of car on a road where you drive on the left side of the road. Wow you pass awfully close to that car going the other way.
ALSO: Tortola is the normal cruise stop for "The Baths" on Virgin Gorda. Smaller boats (They called the ferries) go back and forth. The timing of your cruise and size of your boat takes away from the enjoyment but they are quite spectacular once you get there. But sometimes crowded. Small private boat which you can swim from off shore might be better but it is a private park set up and I believe there are issues in landing etc. for those no permitted.
As I said it been a while since I was there.

[QUOTE="BSeabob, post: 1746241, member: 73"] Tortola has some great beaches. A taxi to a well known spot was my go to. It however has been so long I can only just suggest doing a google search of good beaches and go from there. Try to find a spot with washrooms/small restaurant etc. They do drive on the wrong side of the road there.
