Fodor's U.S. & British Virgin Islands

A perfect combination of the familiar and the exotic, the U.S. Virgin Islands are a little bit of America in the Caribbean, with the addition of beautiful tropical beaches and excellent resorts. The nearby British Virgin Islands offer an even slower pace with more low-key—though often quite exclusive—resorts that offer a focus on personal service. All the islands offer easy access to excellent diving and snorkeling.

New Coverage: Beach reviews have been expanded and rewritten, restaurant coverage has been expanded, new resorts added, and every aspect of the guide fully updated.
Illustrated Features: Special "Fodor's Features" illuminate two of the most distinctive experiences in the Virgin Islands, diving & snorkeling and charting a yacht. An extensive Experience chapter covers weddings & honeymoons, top attractions, and ferry routes among other important topics.

Indispensable Trip Planning Tools: An island finder helps travelers choose the perfect Virgin Island. Each chapter opens with an orientation map, the top reasons to go to the island, and other essential information to help visitors plan their time effectively.
