It has an orchid house, a small rainforest, and a palm grove. The aptly named flamboyant tree, with its brilliant scarlet flowers, is one of the highlights here. — Frommer's

Cane Garden Bay is probably on the postcard that drew you to the BVI in the first place. The gently sloping crescent of sand hosts plenty of beachside bars and water-sports vendors. — Lonely Planet

Just off the North Coast Rd at the west end of Cane Garden Bay, this is the oldest continuously operated distillery in the Eastern Caribbean. — Lonely Planet

The undeveloped island, roughly three miles west of Tortola, is a nesting site for endangered leatherback turtles and has recently been declared a national park. — Afar Magazine

This beach was one of my favorites in Tortola. — Afar Magazine
