Mangrove Cays		Map
Location:		Two small cays off the southern tip of Burt Point (Road Harbour) near the Royal BVI Yacht Club. Note: I made up the names as I can't find any names on the charts.
Coordinates:		Soon come!
Description:		Very small uninhabited cays which are entirely made up of mangroves. This is an interesting place to investigate (if you like crawling around in mangroves) as it is a natural habitat for thousands of juvenile reef fish and crustaceans. You'll need a kayak to get there or you may wade out from shore.

Manuel Cay
Location:		Sea Cow's Bay, just north of Manuel Reef Marina.
Coordinates:		Soon come!
Description:		Very small uninhabited cay which is home to nesting pelicans and at times a Great Blue Heron or two!

Marina Cay		Map | Photo & Information
Location:		North east of Sprat Point, Beef Island, immediately south of Scrub and east of Great Camanoe.
Coordinates:		Soon come!
Description:		This lovely little 8 acre island is home to Pusser's Marina Cay Resort which was taken over by Charles Tobias, (owner of Pusser's West Indies Ltd.) in 1994. There are several villas, a restaurant, Pusser's gift shop and Dive BVI has a full service dive shop. Author Robb White and his wife Rodie built their home here when it was still virgin territory. Robb wrote about their experiences in his novel entitled "Two on the Isle".
Anchorage:		Overnight: Moorings are available on the south west side of the island. Pay at the marina.
Marina:		Fuel, water and ice are available. Additional Information: Pusser's - Marina Cay

Moskito Island		Photos | Map of North Sound or Virgin Gorda
Location:		North Sound off Anguilla Point, Virgin Gorda.
Coordinates:		Soon come!
Description:		Named for the Moskito Indians (rather than the mosquito insect) who once resided here sometime prior to the 1500's. Unfortunately, the island seems to be in an extended state of limbo. This is home to a small and once very popular resort named Drake's Anchorage. The resort closed several years ago and rumours frequently circulate in regards to its future and who may or may not have bought it. Unfortunately, nothing has happened to date and the resort appears to be falling into a state of disrepair. Hopefully someday, someone will rescue Drake's Anchorage! There is a great hiking trail here, (Trail of Palms) though I imagine it has likely fallen prey to jungle growth as it hasn't been maintained in several years.
Notable Beaches:		Hay Point Beach
Anchorage:		Overnight: Deadman's Bay

Mosquito Rock		Map
Location:		Off the north eastern tip of Moskito Island.
Coordinates:		Soon come!
Description:		Above water rock which marks the beginning of Colquhoun Reef extending nearly half way between Mosquito and Prickly Pear Islands. Colquhoun Reef has claimed its fair share of BVI charter yachts, so pay close attention to your charts when entering North Sound!

Nanny Cay		Map | Pictures and Information
Location:		Attached to Tortola (south shore) by bridge, half way between Road Town and West End.
Coordinates:		Soon Come!
Description:		Nanny Cay Resort & Marina is home to the the largest public marina in the BVI. The hotel provides a lovely swimming pool overlooking Drake's Channel and a tennis court for guest use. There are two restaurants, a small grocery store, a few gift shops, hair salon and spa, a small pottery studio, and a golf driving range with a kiddie park and a watersports center for windsurfing and kite board rentals.

Norman Island		Map | Photos and Information
Location:		South of Tortola and south west of Peter Island.
Coordinates:		Willy - T Bar & Restaurant in The Bight N18° 18 Hrs. 50 mins. - W64° 37 hrs. 7 mins.
Description:		Norman Island is the southern most of all the British Virgin Islands and is privately owned by Dr. Henry Jarecki who also owns Guana Island Resort. Almost entirely uninhabited, the only structure is Pirate's Bight Restaurant located in The Bight. Also in The Bight is the William Thornton Floating Bar and Restaurant which is affectionately known as the Willy T. This is the anchorage most yacht charter guests head for on the first day in the BVI and it is often their last stop before returning their yacht to the charter base. Rumours abound that another resort will be built here sometime in the future. We shall see! The Caves at Treasure Point are a popular snorkeling destination.
Anchorages:		Overnight: The Bight, Benures Bay and if sea conditions permit ... Soldier Bay & Money Bay can be very pleasant. Daytime Only: The Caves or Privateer Bay.
