Stay Safe
The biggest danger by far is the ocean. Several tourists have died snorkeling or swimming. Know your limits and heed warning signs.
Drugs are prevalent throughout all of the Caribbean islands but not quite a problem on Virgin Gorda. What crime rate exists is usually among tourists. Even so, it is very safe to walk around at any hour of the night.
Tap water is said to be safe to drink at all tourist-oriented restaurants and accommodations.
There are medical clinics and pharmacies on the island. Pedestrians must take care because of the lack of sidewalks.
In case of emergency, call 999 or 911.
