Josiah's Bay
A surf beach on Tortola's northeast coast with good waves in winter. The rest of the year, it is a long sandy beach with few visitors.
Josiah's Bay lies on the northeast coast of Tortola and is one of the island's well-known surf spots. The waves are best in winter, when northerly swells arrive, and surfboard rental and lessons are available on the beach. On calm days it is also good for swimming and sunbathing. The wide beach sees few visitors, and behind it is a salt pond where waterbirds can be seen. When the surf is up, rip currents form, so non-strong swimmers should stay out of the water. It is about 20 minutes' drive from Road Town.
