The British Virgin Islands consist of the main islands of Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke, along with over fifty other smaller islands and cays. Approximately fifteen of the islands are inhabited.

The U.S. Virgin Islands consist of the main islands of Saint Croix, Saint John and Saint Thomas, along with the much smaller but historically distinct Water Island, and many other surrounding minor islands.

The British own some of the islands and the U.S. owns some of the islands. There are many islands in a group there, just like the Hawaiian Islands.

No. Saint Croix, Saint John and Saint Thomas are the US Virgin Islands. Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost Van Dyke are the British Vrigin Islands.
