Media Buzz for BVI - Caribbean Magazine!

The media buzz continues! The BVI is in the news once again, this time coming in the form of extensive print media cover in Caribbean Travel & Life. Check it out at http://www.caribbeantravelmag.com.

On page 21 the editors provide an excellent map of the Caribbean, with a special emphasis on Tortola, capped of with a colorful photo of “The Gallery” in Road Town.

Next up, the magazine picks two BVI hotspots in its collection of “15 Welcoming Caribbean Havens” on page 70. First on the list of suggested sandy spots is no other than Anegada with a focus on the Cow Wreck Beach Resort. Caribbean Magazine writes:

“Cow Wreck Beach Resort comprises three self-catering cottages and an inviting beach bar/restaurant astride one of Anegada’s endless powdery-white strands. Accommodations sit just 25-feet from the sand, and good snorkeling begins just offshore. Grass beds dotted with conch and patrolled by bonefish give way to scattered coral heads crowded with sea life – all in just 5 feet of water. Keep making your way toward the drop-off marked by dark patches and deep blue, and you’ll find huge coral bommies undercut with ledges rising from the sandy bottom 30 feet below.”

And in the same article the magazine picks Guana Island as among its top 15 places to visit. In this segment the publication raves, “For snorkelers, it’s an absolute sanctuary, surrounded by reefs and rocky coastline that attract an abundance of sea creatures. The best beach here, White Bay, is one of the best anywhere. Thick coral spurs begin just a few feet off the sugary shore, and the bay holds dense schools of silversides that support a thriving food chain that includes big tarpon.”

As if things couldn’t get better, Caribbean Travel & Life mentioned the BVI yet again a bit deeper in the publication. This time the magazine concentrated solely on Tortola in a featured article on page 82. In this article, writer Joan Tapper pens, “Tortola’s roads are a hilly adventure, combining roller-coaster ups and downs with unannounced hairpin curves. If you’re driving – on the left – you shouldn’t be gazing out at glorious vistas that reveal steep green slopes dotted by a few pastel houses, or at sweet, sandy coves edged by turquoise water. I found the panoramas deceiving: What looked like part of the “mainland” ahead sometimes turned out to be another island, tantalizingly close. And the bays that seemed like close neighbors on a map were often separated by a time-consuming hill or two.”
