Parham Town

Parham Town is located on Tortola's south eastern shore in Fat Hogs Bay. Here the variety of marine species includes lobsters, groupers, eagle rays, jacks, butterfly fish, octopus, moray eels and others. Moving east along the coast of Tortola there is a Beef island. Here tourist can visit a pretty spot, called Hans Creek, located on the western end of the large sandy beach. The whole area in front of the beach and to the east has a large reef that protects the beach from the larger seas, turning it into a perfect nursery. Divers may see turtles, baby eagle rays, baby barracudas and schools of small bait fish. There are good sites suited for divers of all levels on the nearby islands of Guana, Great Camanoe and Scrub. Among them are Diamond Reef, Shark Point, Towing Point, Monkey Point and Grand Central Station. Dimond Reef is a great site for novice divers. It features hard and soft corals and a colony of pretty garden eels. It is also an exquisite night dive.
