British Virgin Islands: our favorite Port of Call, another Paradise on Earth (just like Phi Phi Leh on the other side of the world...) Our ship docked in
Road Harbour,
the Port of Tortola:
... and we headed off to explore the island. First,
Cane Garden Bay (or was it Kindrgarden bay?), which is THE tourist beach on Tortola. It is stunningly beautiful with overhanging palm trees, powder soft sand and, pretty rough waves:
The 20-minute-ride to Cane Garden Bay was worth the excitement itself, with gorgeaus views from the top of the hill all around the island...
... and
Road Town, dominated by OUR cruise ship docked in the harbour, which seemed to be higher than any building around:
Next, we took a ferry over to
Virgin Gorda, having very high expectations towards
The Baths, described in our guide book as "the island's best beach with the most enticing turquoise waters you'll see outside the South Pacific". Well, the beach indeed was really beautiful, but also packed with tourists as most cruise cruise ships run shore excursions to this "number one attraction of BVI":
Luckily there are not too many adventurous tourists on such cruise ships who decide to explore the island themselves (after all, it is easier and more comfortable to simply rely on the recommendation of the shore excursion agency, pay the fee and have everything arranged for your excursion to 'the best' beach). We chose however (as usually) to take our own way and walked down on a hidden path...
... to finally reach a Robinson Crusoe-style haven, a SECRET beach surrounded by palm trees and powder soft white sand, which we found THE MOST BEAUTIFUL beach all around. There were no tourists, no restaurants or gift shops, nothing around, just the nature... and us.
Thus we decided to keep the exact location of this place in secret - we may only disclose it upon exchange for a similar candidate of the "Top 10 most beautiful and untouristic places on Earth" anyone may be able to recommend. Feel free to comment and send us your "proposals", we can make a good deal! :-))
