The British Virgin Islands
A sailing scene so good it is basically the reason bareboat chartering became a holiday in the first place, a beach bar built from a wrecked wooden schooner that is now a rite of passage, and boulders on one island stacked improbably large right down to the waterline.
The best time to visit The British Virgin Islands is Dec–Apr, when typical daytime highs reach about 26°C (79°F). Local time there is 13:18 (UTC-4).
