beach near dock in Tortola

Arriving on the NCL Gem in a few weeks and was wondering if there are any swimming beaches within a short walk (20-30 minutes away OK) from where the ship docks?

Thanks,.

Not really, sorry!

I was wondering the same thing. Ill be there in two weeks. Blue Water. I have read many of your posts, great job with advice and info for others! Thank you

I might take a taxi around the island as I love to tour places like this..

Cane Garden bay beach is one of the closest. Just 8.00 p/p ea way.:) I'm on the Gem 1/12 sailing.

CGB is not walkable though :) CGB, Brewers Bay, Josiah's Bay, Long Bay (Tortola), and Smuggler's Cove are all on the other side (north side) of the island, all $8pp each way by safari taxi as caribsun noted except Long Bay and Smuggler's which are $12pp. See the map for an idea of where the beaches are -

Brandywine Bay and Nanny Cay are the closest options, but still a taxi ride away at $6pp each way. I believe Brandywine Bay is being developed so ask a driver about that if considering that.

Would recommend CGB for a beach full of beach bars and your fellow cruisers, or Brewers Bay for a nice beach experience with just one beach bar and not as many people...If time is limited or you don't want to spend all day at a beach there are affordable island tours right at the dock, and some include a beach stop...

How from port to CGB?

20 - 25 min taxi

We are going to be in Tortola in March. We have a group of 16 .Do you think it would still be possible to negotiate a tour dockside on the day of the stop? I have been trying to research independent tours ( sight seeing and a beach stop) and haven't had much luck.

Does anyone have any ideas? it would be very much appreciated.

And how far is Brewers from the dock? Only in port from 7a - 1p

Thanks

You shouldn't have any problem at all getting a taxi tour together when you arrive, just go to the taxi coordinator at the pier when you arrive. If you are really concerned you can contact a taxi company and see what they will charge for a reserved tour. But I really don't think you'll have a problem.
