Frequently Asked Questions
The ship anchors in The Bight, a broad horseshoe sheltered from the swell, and the tender lands passengers on the sand at Pirates Bight. It is one of the most popular anchorages in the archipelago.
Almost none. The island is uninhabited: there are only two yachting spots, the Pirates Bight restaurant and the floating Willy T bar. Bring what you need for the day.
Legend says Robert Louis Stevenson had it in mind when he wrote the novel, but nothing proves it. What is documented: in 1750, the mutinous crew of a Spanish galleon landed chests of silver coins here, only part of which the authorities recovered.
Swim the Treasure Point caves, pause at Pirates Bight and, for walkers, take the twenty-minute climb to the ridge. That is a full programme for half a day.
Four sea caves reachable by swimming, at the mouth of the bay. Shallow and never far from daylight, they suit all swimming abilities: clouds of small silver fish, blue reflections at the entrance, soft shade at the back.
Early, before the excursion catamarans arrive. This is one of the busiest snorkelling sites in the Virgin Islands, and the hour changes the experience completely.
The William Thornton, a restaurant ship anchored mid-bay for decades and rebuilt after Hurricane Irma in 2017. You come alongside by dinghy for a simple plate or a drink; the bold jump from the upper deck. Families often prefer the beach restaurant tables, quieter at midday.
Yes. From Pirates Bight, trails climb to the ridge line in about twenty minutes. From up there you look down on the Sir Francis Drake Channel, with Tortola to the north and Peter Island to the east. Bring sturdy sandals: the ground is stony and the sun unforgiving.
The US dollar, official currency of the British Virgin Islands. Since the island is uninhabited and services amount to two spots, bring cash.
Yes, with one caveat about the caves. The swim is easy, but a pool noodle or a flotation vest makes the route more restful for average swimmers. The bay's seagrass beds, where green turtles sometimes graze, are easy to see with a mask from the beach.
