Wedding Beach

Hawksnest is probably the most convenient...there are nice rock formations on the eastern end and there's a nice combo backdrop of seagrape trees intersperced with palms.....I would check out the north shore beaches a day or two in advance to see if they get the sun and have the elements you'd like ...

Pastory Gardens

The food is decent and its a very good mini golf course and nice views. We liked Island Blues in Coral Bay better. Turn right at the first intersection when you come down the hill into Coral Bay and go about 2/3 mile and its on your left right on the water with heavenly, refreshing breezes and bette...

Maria Bluff questions

However, once you get on the main road heading to town.... BE CAUTIOUS ... Drivers for the most part are observant and h...

Definitely Ocean Runners

Ocean Runners gives you a half hour or hour more time than through the service at the Westin....I think their bimini tops are larger too than at the Westin service...the only complaint is that even if you get there at 8am sharp, it takes like 20 min. to fill out all the paperwork, etc. and it doesn'...

Boating to Jost

Rent the 21' Mako with the single Johnson 200 outboard from Ocean Runners, if there's only up to 3, 4 max. and drive it yourself...clear customs in Great Harbour grab lunch at Ali Baba's if its that time of day....if you get the chance head southeast to the north coast of Tortola to either cruise in...

Dohm's and Christopher's are TOPS

Your party will find them holding up a sign saying Christopher's right outside of the luggage carosel in STT......they will whisk your party and I mean get you to the dock to meet Dohm's, most likely 20 minutes faster than a regular...
