British Virgin Islands General Information
The British Virgin Islands (BVI), a part of the Leeward Island 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. Access to other BVI islands is by private boat or scheduled ferry. Currency is the US Dollar. Clocks in the BVI are set 1 hour later than Eastern Standard Time and daylight savings time is observed.  Other details regarding the BVI can be obtained via our Links Page.
