Visitor Reviews of Copper Mine Bay
“I have never been here. It looks like it gets a good amount of swell despite the rating. If you look at the month to month charts it looks to have a decent amount of waves with usually unfavourable wind. If anyone can give an honest comment about the place it would be appreciated. I am more interested in the potential of Cooper Island just southwest of Virgin Gorda. The reefs looks good on the SW, E, and NE sides. Just trying to find a gem of a spot where the surf is acceptable (better that it says it is & slightly better than my home spot in WB north Carolina)”
