Cane Garden Bay

Tortola's most famous beach, a crescent of white sand framed by coconut palms, with beach bars and a rum distillery next door.

Cane Garden Bay lies on the north coast. Its crescent-shaped white-sand beach, about 1.5 km long, is framed by green hills. The calm bay is good for swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkeling. The shore has beach bars, restaurants, and small guesthouses, and live music often plays at night. On the bay is the Callwood Rum Distillery, which has operated since the 18th century. It is about 20 minutes by car from Road Town over winding hills. It gets crowded on cruise ship days, so go in the morning or evening.
