Where is the Road Town cruise port?

Ships dock at the Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park on Wickhams Cay I, at the edge of Road Town. You walk along the pier through the Pier Park shops and out to town; Main Street is a flat 10–15 minute walk.

When the pier is full, ships anchor and tender to a pier alongside.

There is no swimming beach within walking distance; taxis to the beaches leave from the pier rank.
