Beaches

The colourful seaside bars and restaurants, as well as a few small inns and villas and gift shops give it a boardwalk appeal. Cane Garden Bay is a favoured anchorage for boaters and all water sports activities are available here.

Brewer's Bay Beach : Offers a quiet retreat and some of the best snorkelling because of its many reefs. It also has the island's only campground.

Apple Bay Beach : Grab your boogey board and get ready to chop the waves of this very popular surfer's haven. After a few chops, let Bomba's surfside bar get you fired up with a shot of Bomba's infamous punch.

Smuggler's Cove: Get lost in the solitude of this hidden treasure. Somewhat remote but worth the trip. You will find more than just a snorkel and swim and the glorious view of Jost Van Dyke in its background. When its time for a drink and a bag of chips, help yourself at the honest bar.

Josiah's Bay Beach : Another surfer's world with its high waves and awesome view of Guana Island . The Josiah's Bay Plantation and an art gallery are nearby.

Lambert Bay : Is one of the north shore's finest beaches and is a favourite picnic spot because of its sheltering palm grove and fine white sand. A resort is located behind the beach.
