I haven’t seen any updates for this beach. I’m sure the beach is fine but just curious if any facilities or places to get a drink or bite to eat or rent chairs maybe?

We haven’t been this year, if no feedback here try the TTOL BVI forum, I would expect more current info from folks there. I started this thread and you could post this question there or start a new thread...

Thanks for the reply!

Sure! Very helpful site for all things BVI. I see you joined TTOL and that’s the best way to get the most from the forum.

 

I started that thread hoping to get beach and beach bar updates in one thread to make it easier than searching through multiple threads for beach updates, so hopefully you’ll get a reply there.

Yes, not what I wanted to hear but what i needed to know, lol.  Guess I’ll go to plan B.  Appreciated the quick response.

Yes luckily there are some other beautiful beaches that are less crowded than CGB where you can get drinks and use lounges. Are you already familiar with those?

We went to Brewers Bay once and Smuggler’s Cove once.  Just looking for a new spot to explore.  I think Long Bay Beach maybe, near smugglers.  We’re on a cruise so limited time.   Our ritual is a pain killer at Pussers and Sunny Caribbee on the way back to the ship but just learned Sunny Caribbee is closed until 2020.  They sell some of their products at a store near the pier, Wonders of the Virgin Islands.  I use their spices and jerk seasoning all the time so I’m bummed about not getting maybe the ones I am used to buying but small inconvenience compared to them losing their business for this long. I feel bad for them.  Even their online store is closed.

Yes we don’t get to Tortola often enough and love their spices and I also miss the online option, but we also feel bad for them and all of the other businesses.

 

I agree LB West End would be a nice day. You may know that the Long Bay Resort downsized to the Long Bay Beach Club years back. They no longer offered a day pass with food & drinks, but were still renting lounges to day visitors for $5pp and the restaurant was available. I’m not sure about the status of that, TTOL would be a good place to ask. But that’s our favorite beach to watch pelicans diving for lunch...
