Anchorage· Tortola· Virgin Islands (BVI, USVI and Spanish Virgins)

Brewers Bay (Tortola)

18° 26.5′ N · 64° 38.9′ W · approximate

A quiet, steep-sided bay just north-east of Cane Garden Bay with a beach bar and good snorkeling, but red-lined for anchoring by most charter companies because of underwater cables and north-swell exposure.

Practical

Position approximate: placed in the bay north of Nicole's Brewers Bay Beach Bar (OpenStreetMap). Yacht Warriors says most charter companies prohibit anchoring here (underwater cables and north swell), so most visitors come by land; Nicole's Beach Bar is on the beach. Dive BVI runs dives on moorings at both points of the bay (see Brewers Bay East and West). Do not anchor near the cable area; check your charter contract and chart.

Best for

A quiet beach by land, or a dive on the points

Season

Summer only for boats; untenable in north swell
