Norman Island
Norman Island is located at the southern tip of the British Virgin Islands archipelago. It is one of several islands reputed to be the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s pirate novel Treasure Island. The island may have been named after a pirate who bought it sometime during the early 18th century. The island is uninhabited and privately owned.
Despite not being inhabited, the island is well known to sailors for its calm waters. The Bight is one very popular anchorage, and its lovely white beach and two restaurants/bars make this the perfect stop for an afternoon or evening.
Weather
The weather is always warm on the island, with an average high temperature of 86 °F and an average low temperature of 78 °F. The windiest month is July and the rainiest month is October.
