Virgin Gorda Island, Tour Guide. Virgin Gorda is a gorgeous Caribbean gem where the super-rich come to experience unfazed local friendliness and tropical waters. Pristine natural beauty abounds both above and below the water. Steep hills adorn the northwest half of the island towards 'Bitter End', boasting breathtaking views of the BVI and open Atlantic ocean. On the southwestern tip of Gorda, the famous 'baths' can be found; thousands of huge smooth boulders peppering the beach, creating unique natural seawater pools and a mazelike network of tunnels and crevices. Most tourists will arrive at Spanish Town, the main settlement on the island. A few convenience stores, watersports companies and places to eat cluster around the yacht marina there. Car rental and various day tours can be booked from Spanish Town, or even prior to that when you book your ferry to the island with us. Around the turquoise waters of Gorda are some of the most pristine spots for snorkelling and diving in the BVI. Swimming the waters of certain areas of the western coast can almost be guaranteed with sea turtle sightings among the decor of pretty soft coral and vibrant fish. In the north sound near bitter end, a watersports and yachting mecca awaits. Kitesurfing is the mainstay here, as strong gusts with sizeable waves plough in steadily from the Atlantic. The east coast is rugged and unsuitable for leisure purposes, other than enjoying the stunning views of wave after wave pounding in under the tropical sun from the high vantage point offered at Gorda Peak National Park.

British Virgin Islands Travel and Tourism. Tortola Island, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, Jost Van Dyke. The Virgin Islands, commonly referred to as the British Virgin Islands (BVI), is a British overseas territory located in the Caribbean to the east of Puerto Rico. The islands make up part of the Virgin Islands archipelago; the remaining islands constitute the US Virgin Islands and the Spanish Virgin Islands. The official name of the Territory is still simply the "Virgin Islands", but the prefix "British" is often used to distinguish it from the neighbouring American territory which changed its name from the "Danish West Indies" to "Virgin Islands of the United States" in 1917. British Virgin Islands government publications continue to begin with the name "The Territory of the Virgin Islands", and the Territory's passports simply refer to the "Virgin Islands", and all laws begin with the words "Virgin Islands". Moreover, the Territory's Constitutional Commission has expressed the view that "every effort should be made", to encourage the use of the name "Virgin Islands".The Virgin Islands consist of the main islands of Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost Van Dyke, along with over fifty other smaller islands and cays. About 15 of the islands are inhabited. The capital, Road Town, is situated on Tortola, the largest island, which is approximately 20 km (12 mi) long and 5 km (3 mi) wide. The islands have a population of about 27,800, of whom approximately 23,000 live on Tortola

Color PhotosIn her writing debut, Sharing A Fly Wing, the author aims to capture the imagination of her readers by drawing them back into the idyllic days of her childhood, by having them walk unpaved, moonlit roads with her and perhaps sit in class with her in a dilapidated one-room schoolhouse. Sharing A Fly Wing tells the story, through her childhood memories, of her life as a young girl on an undeveloped island. She reminisces about the bonds of family and friends and of her mother's lifelong lesson to share everything, even if it were as small as a "fly wing." In describing the homegrown, home-cooked cuisine of her young life, one senses her nostalgia and can almost taste the many culinary delights which she savored with every meal. Her "Utopian" life was punctuated with the loss of three of her siblings on whose graves she put flowers every Sunday morning, although she was too young to understand the significance of their deaths.It was on this little island, where everyone knew each other, where everyone paused to say, "good morning" or "good afternoon," that she grew up poor, in a close-knit family. It was here that her strength of character was molded, and her appreciation of life was born. She views Sharing A Fly Wing as a tribute to her mother's grace, patience, and teachings during her formative years.

Intimate portraits of the interviewees, together with striking pictures of the beauty of VG blend to enhance the story of VG. The book will offer much to anyone interested in life on any small island as it thrives and struggles with the changes of growth and tourism.

From the Foreword As the title of this book implies, Life Notes is largely about the personal recollections of a native British Virgin Islander, who has raised our awareness by committing to print a font of information about the times in which he lived hard times of the early years, the relatively good times of the middle years, and the visible and sometimes not so tangible achievements of a total life. Life Notes is not an historical text but it is eminently enlightening and charged with historical truths. It should be embraced as required reading for anyone who aspires to become familiar with the history and culture of the British Virgin Islands in the Twentieth Century. J.R.s folksy style as a writer makes it easy reading. He is humorous and engaging and, like the man himself, the book is compellingly frank and honest. Cyril B. Romney Former Chief Minister JOSEPH REYNOLD ONEAL was born in Virgin Gorda in 1911 and has led a rich and varied life since. An entrepreneur who evolved into one of the titans of business leadership in the Virgin Islands, Mr. ONeal (or J.R. as many call him) also found time to devote himself to political and environmental affairs. Mr. ONeal has won distinction and several awards for his many years of community service and for his leadership in the business arena. As chairman of the National Parks Trust for some thirty years, he spearheaded the reforestation of Sage Mountain and Gorda Peak. In recognition of his work on behalf of the Trust, the Botanic Gardens in Road Town were named in his honour in 1988. In 1990, Mr. ONeal was also named to the Global 500, a United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) honour roll of people who have contributed to the preservation of the environment around the world. Mr. ONeal was awarded the C.B.E. (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) by Her Majesty the Queen in 1998, following M.B.E. and O.B.E. awards. In 2002, he was awarded the Badge of Honour by the Government of the British Virgin Islands.
