Brewers Bay, Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Brewer’s Bay is the perfect secret hideaway beach on Tortola. A fifteen minute drive out of Road Town, it is peaceful and quiet and most often desired by locals and visitors alike. It is hidden in a sheltered bay on the North Shore of the island. The indispensable palm trees, flourishing tropical surroundings and turquoise blue water as well as the golden sand are unspoiled and hardly ever crowded.
The sea is great for swimming and the snorkeling is spectacular. Whilst snorkeling, you may see squids, octopus, tarpons, parrot fish and many other interesting and beautiful underwater world which is still that is still and untouched.
A little further off the beach under the tropical awning is the island’s only campground that has 22 prepared sites that are fully equipped with cooking utensils, beds and linen, lamps and stoves, ice containers and bathrooms.
Brewer’s Bay is a quiet haven with a beautiful beach. The water which is very shallow runs quite a distance out from shore making it ideal for young children to play in the water safely.
Brewer’s Bay gets it name from the ruins of a once very busy distillery built sometime in the early 1700’s and its ruins can still be seen from the road which contains some pieces of machinery and other accessories.
