Apple Bay & Sebastian's on the Beach

18° 23.9′ N · 64° 40.9′ W · approximate

A 35-room beach hotel on Little Apple Bay, on Tortola's north-west coast beside one of the best surf breaks in the BVI, with Nardie's Beach Bar serving seafood and its own Sebastian's rum.

Practical

Position from OpenStreetMap. North-facing and swell-exposed: in winter the bay surfs, which is the attraction for surfers and the reason it is not an overnight anchorage. Reservations and menu at sebastiansbvi.com; surfboard rental available at the hotel. Visit by taxi from Soper's Hole or Cane Garden Bay.
