Soper's Hole

A natural harbor at Tortola's western tip, with a waterfront of colorful wooden shops, boutiques and a ferry terminal serving St. Thomas and Jost Van Dyke.

Soper's Hole is a natural deep-water harbor between the western tip of Tortola and Frenchman's Cay. Historically it was a hideout for pirates and smugglers, and today it is a yacht anchorage. A row of colorful Caribbean-style wooden buildings along the dock houses cafés, restaurants and boutiques, and rebuilding has been progressing since the hurricanes. The western ferry terminal has boats to the U.S. Virgin Islands of St. Thomas and St. John, and to Jost Van Dyke. It is a good place to stroll, eat and watch the sailboats.
