Apple Bay Beach is a fine sandy beach, popular for surfing. However, it is mostly known for Bomba's Surfside Shack. To hear the locals tell it, wild parties occur here at night and the bras and panties decorating the shack provide some evidence to support such claims.

Long Bay Beach is a one and a quarter mile sandy beach that is often praised for its beauty. It is the home of the Long Bay Beach Resort. Somewhat confusingly, Tortola has two beaches named "Long Bay" one at either end of the island. This one is Long Bay (West End) while the other is Long Bay (East End).
Tortola has several other oft-praised beaches including Brewers' Bay and Smuggler's Cove. Both are secluded. However, Smuggler's Cove can only be accessed by boat or by foot. |
