Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands

[steaner]

Home to one of the most protected anchorages in the region, known as The Bight, Norman Island is located on the Flanagan Passage and Sir Francis Drake Channel (south of Tortola). A favorite of sailors,

it’s an uninhabited, mountainous island with beautiful beaches, caves, good snorkeling and several good dive sites,

including some underwater caves. Said to be the setting for Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, stories of hidden fortunes are still traded about. It’s accessible only by private or charter boat.

If you go there, be sure to snorkel into the Caves, one of the region’s most-visited snorkeling destinations. Some of the caves extend deeply into the island, and the reduced amount of sunlight makes the experience more like a night dive. Take an underwater flashlight if you want to do it right.



There’s a beach bar on the island and just offshore in the Bight is the William Thornton, a Baltic sailing vessel dating from 1915 that has been converted into a pirate-ship-style floating bar and restaurant called Pirates Bight. Drop in for grog or dinner if you happen to be sailing by. (But be prepared for some booze-fueled shenanigans.)

Near both Norman and Peter Islands, an area called the Indians is a great place for both snorkeling and diving. Four large rock formations jut out of the water, marking the spot where you’ll find innumerable varieties of fish and coral to marvel at. Charter boats regularly visit, and the surrounding mooring balls are often full, so don’t expect to have the place to yourself.

Norman island beach - where dreams become true vacations
The inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island - adventure can still be found on Norman Island, but of a different kind? The Bight offers one of the most protected harbours in the region and is a popular anchorage for yachters for this reason. At the Eastern entrance of The Bight is a small cove that offers excellent snorkeling.

British Virgin Islands beaches have been voted the “best beaches” by Caribbean Travel and Life Magazine. Check with Pirates Bight Restaurant about the ferry schedule to the Bight from their dock at Hanna Bay, Tortola (other side of harbour entrance, opposite Peglegs Landing Restaurant at Nanny Cay).
