| Overview Smuggler's Cove is one of the most beautiful beaches on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands although not necessarily easy to get to along a dirt track. Persevere though - it's well worth it. Palm trees and seagrapes provide shade along the long-sweeping crescent-shaped white sands. Pelicans often dive-bomb for fish alongside the snorkellers! You will not be disappointed - one of the best beaches in the British Virgin Islands! |
