Visitors with a penchant for snorkeling should definitely make a trip to the four caves at Norman Island , the place Robert Louis Stevenson had in mind when he wrote Treasure Island . The Baths on Virgin Gorda is also a popular place for snorkeling. Steady winds and warm waters around the British Virgin Islands make for great windsurfing, which is quickly becoming a favored sport. Round-trips between Virgin Gorda and Anegada or Tortola and Peter Island can be easily arranged. On land, visitors can enjoy tennis and hiking.
Sailing is a popular pastime in the British Virgin Islands.
