The British Virgin Islands (BVI), a part of the Leeward Islnd chain, are located in the Caribbean Sea, approximately 1100 miles southwest of Florida, USA. While only about 8 miles east of St. Thomas and just north of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, they are a world apart - the BVI are typified by a quieter, more rural lifestyle. Tortola is the main island and the main city is Road Town. The airport is located on the east end of Tortola (Beef Island) and is principally served by commuter airlines from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Tortola can also be reached via ferry from St Thomas, USVI. A passport is required for BVI entry. Guests should plan on spending the first night on Tortola. Cooper Island can be reached only by boat. Scheduled service from Tortola is provided by the Cooper Island Beach Club (CIBC) boat for Monday, Wednesday and Friday Arrivals/Departures. Guests need to work their arrival and departure around the CIBC shcedule.
