	Elite Island Resorts : About the British Virgin Islands
		The primary islands of the British Virgin Islands are Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke.
		Tortola's mountain peaks are covered with frangipani and sage on its southern coast, while its northern shores flaunt white sandy beaches, groves of succulent bananas and mangoes and groups of palm trees.
		Jost Van Dyke is a four-square mile island to the north of Tortola's West End with a population of 200.

	Cruise Critic Destinations: Tortola
		The reason is that the assets of Tortola proper are limited in size and number, and the presence of even one large cruise ship in port puts enough visitors on the ground to overwhelm and overrun most of them.
		Tortola and most of the BVI are mountainous islands, and, though verdant-green when seen from afar, the climate and vegetation are much drier than many Caribbean isles.
		Lastly, one of Tortola's greatest attributes is the genuinely friendly attitude of its residents; don't expect the venality and sub rosa resentment of Americans ofttimes found in the Caribbean.
