Cheap Flights To Beef Island

Located just to the east of Tortola, one of the British Virgin Island's largest Isles, lies the charming and beautiful Beef Island. Although a small island, the region boasts a wealth of attractions for visitors -- particularly those who are interested in the natural world. The island is also framed by some of the most stunning beaches, each with fine, powdery white sand and clear turquoise waters. Water sports enthusiasts are also particularly drawn to the region due to its excellent snorkelling and array of water sports on offer.

The island's main town, Trellis Bay, was used by sailors during long voyages as a place to stock up on essential foodstuffs and supplies such as smoked beef and subsequently became known as Beef Island. Trellis Bay is popular with both tourists and locals alike for its array of unique shops selling crafts, artwork and a plethora of fine restaurants offering freshly caught seafood and fish. The Islanders also organise a selection of festivals throughout the year, with most occurring during a full moon. Visit during the month of June for the Fishermans Festival. The event spans three days and is held in honour of the fishermen's past and present. Local fishermen compete and showcase their skills and the family-friendly event also features live music and fun-filled activities.
