Virgin Islands, British

Virgin Gorda is the British Virgin Islands beauty, beloved by movie stars, millionaires and yachties. Somehow she’s maintained her innocence, with a clutch of exceptional national parks. Jost Van Dyke is the jovial island, where a man named Foxy is king and ‘time flies when you ain’t doin’ shit, ’ as the T-shirts proclaim. Not-like-the-others Anegada floats in a remote reef; if you’re looking to get away from it all, this atoll has a hammock waiting. Then there are the sprinkling of out islands – some uninhabited, some with just a beach bar, some with shipwrecks to dive on. You’ll need your own boat to reach them, but since the s are the world’s charter-boat capital, you’re in luck.While the islands are British territories, there’s little that’s overtly British. The British Virgin Islands are quite close to, and intermingled with, the US Virgin Islands, though the British Virgin Islands's are more virginal as far as development goes.
