J.R. O'Neal Botanical Gardens is a small, serene oasis away from the hustle and bustle of Road Town, located about 2 km from the cruise terminal. Despite the damage caused by Hurricane Irma, the gardens are still a delightful and well-maintained attraction filled with lush tropical vegetation. The collection of tropical plants represents different habitats of the BVI, such as the rainforest and coastal environments, in addition to exotic species and an extensive collection of palms. Visitors can enjoy a greenhouse for orchids, a lily pond, a gazebo of orchids, and a scenic pergola. The nursery at the gardens plays a crucial role in preserving endangered species of flora found within the BVI.

This secluded beach is the best option for a quick dip outside Road Town. Located only a half an hour's drive from the city across Sage Mountain National Park, Smuggle's Cove guarantees not only a peaceful time but also excellent conditions for snorkelling.

Starting as a small community theater in the late 1970s, American Stage has evolved and for over a decade has been voted “Best of the Bay” by local residents. If in the area during March — April, a treat is one of the performances in a nearby park, often a play by Shakespeare. Bring your blankets and wine to enjoy theater outside among the trees.

Originally opened in the land boom of the 1920s as the Million Dollar Pier, today’s version offers more than just fishing. In addition to smaller gift shops, the Pier has a two-story vertical aquarium, as well as a food court and four different waterfront restaurants.
