The western tip of the island produces exceptional surf as 3000 miles of ocean swells come to a halt on the 3rd largest barrier reef in the world. Be warned: it gets very big at times.

The island has a small airstrip and you can fly in from Beef Island (EIS) Airport on Tortola. Via Antigua from the UK or Puerto Rico from the US. Best way is to rent a boat as the BVI is the sailing capital of the world. Lots of expensive yachts but a few good deals to be found as well. The island is only 28 feet high but 14 miles long and 3 miles across. Just a big beach and reef in the middle of nowhere. Take a jeep over to the west tip of the island.
