Worshiping the Sun is a popular sport along with snorkeling and just watching the millions of stars at night. In keeping with this tradition of island preservation, there are no marinas, hotels, shopping centers, airports or gaudy commercial establishments. Ferries make multiple daily trips from West End, Tortola and also from St. Thomas.

There are, of course, essential services including full time medical, customs, immigration, fire and police. Taxis make it easy to travel the island, but walking can be healthy. Most of the restaurants and nightlife are in Great Harbour — over the hill and down the road apiece. And at the East End of the island, there’s the Bubbly Pool where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean.
