MOON MADNESS
Revelers flock in for Tortola's monthly full-moon parties. Fungi bands, stilt walkers and
fire jugglers entertain families at Aragorn's Studio art center. The party skews more adult
at Bomba's Surfside Shack, with reggae bands and mushroom tea.
SET A COURSE
The BVI is a sailing hot spot, thanks to steady trade winds, calm tides and hundreds of pro-
tected anchorages. Tortola, with its charter-boat-filled marinas, is where the dream begins.
CATCH A WAVE
Tortola has the requisite secluded beaches and party beaches, but it also has big-waved
surfing beaches and breezy bays for wind sports that draw enthusiasts to its shores.
