About Tortola
Tortola is the capital island of the British Virgin Islands and Road Town is the capital city. There's not a lot to see, although the original architecture of little wooden houses housing some interesting shops, cafes and an art gallery or two and Cockroach Hall built on a huge rock on Main Street is not be missed. There are many spectacular white-sand beaches along the north shore
