With the dramatically-carved and rugged terrain of the mountain island, many say that driving on Tortola is an experience in itself. Crossing the island often involves dramatic ascents and descents along precipitous roads, such as the switch-back road leading to the beach at Brewers Bay. Take a slow drive along Ridge Road, which connects the Capital to the West end of the island but be sure to take a vehicle with four-wheel drive. During your trip, be sure to visit one of Tortola's many famous beaches, which often feel so isolated it's like you have them all to yourself. Stop by Cane Garden Bay and spend an evening at the historic sugar cane rum distillery, which has been in operation since the 19th century.
