Tortola beaches -- bumpy ride?
I am planning a trip to Tortola. Although I don't plan to spend all my time at the beach, I would like to visit some of the nicer ones... However, I have a back problem and have heard that the ride to some of the island's beaches is a recipe for whiplash! Any comments? Thanks!

Sounds like a good reason to rent a vehicle, rather than take taxis. That way YOU can control the speed.<BR><BR>We thought the bumpy ride to Smuggler's Cove (dirt road) was well worth it. When a faster vehicle came up behind us, we just looked for a place to pull over so it could pass and we could keep plodding along.<BR><BR>You will want a 4WD - not for traction, but for ground clearance.<BR><BR>There are numerous speed bumps on the paved road along the north shore. Just slow down to about 2 MPH and you'll be fine.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
