Best Snorkeling Spots BVI

Some of the best snorkeling I’ve ever found is in the British Virgin Islands! The water is so incredibly clear you barely even need to get off the boat to see dozens of varieties of tropical fish and coral covering every color of the rainbow. In my journey to sail seven islands in seven days ( see last seven posts) I discovered some of the best snorkeling spots in this part of the Caribbean. Here’s the list. Enjoy!

THE INDIANS-These four rocks off Norman Island are covered in coral attracting some of the most colorful parrotfish you’ll ever see.

MONEY BAY- This extremely secluded bay off Norman Island is the place to find Stingrays and some of clearest water in the BVI.

GREEN CAY- Off Little Yost Van Dyke has some incredible reef formations bringing in huge schools of angelfish.

THE BATHS- One of the most popular snorkeling sites in the BVI, just off Virgin Gorda, is surrounded by dramatic granite boulders and a plethora of sea life

THE DOGS- Near Virgin Gorda always delivers but your best bet is right off of Great Dog.     

LOBLOLLY BAY- No where else will you find this kind of untouched underwater beauty. From Giant Conch shells to sea turtles this treasure off Anegada is a true find.
