When first approaching Leverick Bay you could be forgiven for fearing this may be a somewhat contrived environment, the Disnification of the BVI, so to speak. The place is so beautiful and the colors so tropical that my first reaction was fear that I had found a paradise already lost.

Once ashore nothing could be further than one's first impression. Leverick Bay is just as laid back, uncrowded and relaxed as anywhere else in the BVI. I guess the folks in Leverick Bay just take some extra pride in decor.

Leverick Bay sports a marina, a Pusser's Store, a restaurant, a provisioning store, a small beach, dive shop, internet cafe, a bar and more. Leverick Bay is also a short cab ride away from The Baths for those days when it's too choppy for mooring over there.

Mooring is $25 a night and includes a water fill and one bag of ice. The $25 fee is waved if four or more of your party dine at The Restaurant At Leverick Bay.
