5 Great Private Beaches to Explore in the BVI


The British Virgin Islands, with their crystal-clear waters, white sandy shores, and hidden coves, are home to some of the most beautiful and secluded beaches in the Caribbean. For those seeking a peaceful retreat away from the crowds, here are five must-visit private beaches where you can enjoy serene beauty and natural tranquility.

1. Smuggler’s Cove, Tortola

Tucked away on Tortola’s western coast, Smuggler’s Cove is a hidden gem with calm, shallow waters and soft white sand. This secluded beach offers ideal conditions for snorkeling, thanks to its vibrant marine life and nearby coral reefs. With few facilities, Smuggler’s Cove retains its untouched charm, perfect for a quiet afternoon of sunbathing and picnicking in paradise.

2. White Bay, Jost Van Dyke

Although White Bay is one of the more well-known spots on Jost Van Dyke, arriving by private yacht allows you to access less crowded areas of this stunning beach. With powdery sand and clear, turquoise waters, White Bay is ideal for swimming and snorkeling. When you’re ready for a break, enjoy a refreshing drink from one of the local beach bars or relax in the shade of swaying palm trees.

3. Savannah Bay, Virgin Gorda

Known for its incredible sunset views, Savannah Bay on Virgin Gorda is a long, wide stretch of beach that rarely sees large crowds. Accessible by boat or a short hike, this quiet beach is perfect for a tranquil day of beachcombing, swimming, and soaking up the sun. The calm, shallow waters are ideal for beginner snorkelers, offering a chance to spot colorful fish close to shore.

4. Loblolly Bay, Anegada

Anegada’s Loblolly Bay is renowned for its stunning pink sand and vibrant underwater life. Accessible mainly by private boat, this beach offers an idyllic escape for those who want to explore the colorful reefs just offshore. The beach has a few beach bars where you can sample fresh seafood and local drinks, but its remote location ensures a relaxed, private experience.

5. Deadman’s Beach, Peter Island

Nestled on the privately-owned Peter Island, Deadman’s Beach is a postcard-perfect paradise with sweeping views and soft white sand. Accessible by private charter, this beach offers an exclusive experience where you can relax on hammocks under the palm trees, snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, and enjoy a peaceful picnic.
