Talk to Beef Island (Terrance B. Lettsome International) is TUPJ (ICAO) like approach when VFR on 118.4. Claims in some places that 122.8 is UNICOM there but was quiet when I was there so not sure if that's accurate. Same for Beef Island on departure but airport personnel stated they can't receive when you're on the ground so they suggested contacting after airborn. On approach as well as departure they will ask souls and fuel duration on board.
Logistics:
No fuel
Need to email ops@bviaa.com before for permission to land
Usual eAPHIS in and out of the US if applicable
3 copies printed in and out of IACO general declaration
ED card for all persons, there is a URL but the form denied posting
Small airport no taxi's etc, rental car group (looks like 1 of 2 are in business L&M) will drop off a car
Off season is slow, 2 bar's open and 1 or 2 hotels, make sure to get a room before noon or so or may be difficult
Went for the lobster, they serve frozen off season but go in season if you are going for that
Beautiful island, nice people
Had to call customs officer to see if he would be on the island but seems like he's generally available.

Note I wanted to see the far side of Virgin Gorda so I went wide, Beef Island kept referring to this as "sightseeing"
