Long Bay

Long Bay sits just outside Spanish Town on Virgin Gorda, making it a straightforward entry point if you're arriving in the BVIs from St. Maarten — drop the hook here and clear customs without the hassle of hunting down another spot. It's functional rather than scenic, but once you're sorted, a quick taxi ride puts you at The Baths with its famous granite boulders and tidal pools, or right in Spanish Town for provisioning and a casual meal.
