East Tortola Attractions

The small village of East End is one of few settlements in the eastern region of Tortola.

Josiah's Bay is an undeveloped, secluded beach on Tortola's north shore lying at the foot of a valley. Point breaks in the surf during the winter months offer excellent surfing.

Originally part of a 19th C sugar plantation, Josiah's Bay Plantation now features an art gallery and restaurant housed in the historic building.

Maya Cove, lying on the southeast shore of Tortola is a less frequented anchorage and point of entry.

Also called the Church at Kingstown, only the walls remain of the 19th C St Philips Church. The church was the principal house of worship for a community of freed slaves established in 1833 and known as the "Kingstown Experiment". Most of the community were survivors from a shipwrecked slave vessel (c 1815) and received the land and parish after working some years as plantation laborers.
