Peter Island

Peter Island is the largest private island in the BVI and the fifth largest of the 60 islands, quays, and exposed reefs that comprise the BVI. It is about five miles southwest of Road Town, Tortola. The British Virgin Islands are a fantastic year-round yacht charter destination you cannot miss.

First-time yacht charterers will be delighted by the close proximity of the islands and the locals’ hospitality and welcoming atmosphere.

Deadman’s Beach on Peter Island.

Only 300 of the island’s 1800 acres are developed. However, it has hiking and biking trails perfect for discovering the island’s abundant tropical flora and fauna. The beaches face the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and the Sir Francis Drake Channel.

Peter Island | Things to see and do

  • Take a helicopter tour and see the island from the air.
  • Spend a day at Deadmans Bay, enjoying its postcard-perfect scenery. The bay is crescent-shaped and lined with palms n the north shore of Peter Island. And it’s one of Virgin Island’s popular yacht anchorages.
  • Snorkel at The Indians. Since this area has excellent visibility and colorful marine life, it is a very popular diving and snorkeling spot. The Indians are home to a variety of reef fish. Also, large sea fans and small corals dot the walls. The Indians are one of the BVI’s best spots for macro life.
  • Scuba dive. Popular dive sites around Peter Island include Coral Gardens, Painted Walls, and Shark Point.
  • Hike Sunset Loop and look for wild goats. The Sunset Loop covers about 3 miles, but be aware that the last mile and a half are almost straight up. For this reason, you need a good fitness level for this hike.
