OTHER ISLANDS Flanking the aquamarine waters of the broad Sir Francis Drake Channel, the British Virgin Is- lands are made up of more than 60 islands. BVI visitors relish in the discovery of their pristine palm-fringed beaches, rugged peaks, rich vegetation and friend- ly people, while some islands are uninhabited and designated as national parks. Each island bears a name that re- flects its colorful past and unique landscape, such as Buck Island, Deadman's Chest, Fallen Jeru- salem, Ginger Island, Great Ca- manoe, Round Rock and Scrub Island. Among these numerous smaller islands, you’ll find must-see des- tinations for snorkeling and wa- ter sports, day hikes that lead the way to extraordinary lookouts, wildlife sanctuaries and so much more – all ensconced in the boat- er’s paradise that is the British Virgin Islands.
