Where to Eat

Tucked in Smuggler’s Cove is Nigel’s Boom Boom Beach Bar & Grill. Great food and Nigel is just a great guy. Try the pork with Creole sauce and get a helping of coconut corn.

Another place with a huge helping of Virgin Island hospitality is Naomi’s Little Secret Beachside Cafe. Located in Josiah’s Bay, Naomi is the “hostess with the most-ess.” Be considerate of the wait. You are on island time, this a place to hang out, enjoy the view, and relax. If you are in a hurry, we will provide other options.

Captain’s Note:

If you plan on cruising over to Tortola, plan a full-day private charter excursion with us. The British Virgin Islands require entry through customs and entry back in the US Virgin Islands at the conclusion of the trip.
