Hubby and I are NJ beach goers and would love to get a little body surfing in while in VI. Is it possible to get there from Soggy Dollar??

Hi! I love Tortola and I have seen people surfing on Apple Bay in Jan or Feb when the water tends to have a bit of a break but the problem with body surfing is that it is a very shallow shore break and the bottom is really rocky and not free of spiny sea urchins. Coming from a family of surfers I just don't think Tortola is the ideal for surfers, but there are die hards who surf it. I hear Barbados is not bad in that regard but I can't say first hand. Your best bet for body surfing IMO is one of the sandy North Shore Beaches of St. John...Cinnamon leaps to mind...from Dec-March.
