Coordinates:		Immediately West of Pelican on a mooring ball N18° 19 Hrs. 54 Mins. - W64° 37 Hrs. 34 Mins.

Pelican Cay		Map

Peter Island		Map | Pictures | Peter Island Resort
Location:		South of Tortola and north east of Norman Island.
Description:		A gorgeous, 1800 acre, private resort offering high end vacation villas and beach side guest rooms with two restaurants, swimming pool, 5 beaches, health spa, tennis courts and hiking trails. A truly lovely getaway!
Notable Beaches:		Dead Man's Bay, White Bay Beach, Big Reef Bay, Great Harbour and Honeymoon Beach.
Anchorages:		There are several anchorages around Peter Island, but I will caution you not to anchor overnight at Dead Man's Bay. Wind and sea conditions can frequently be fickle here and though it may seem like a safe anchorage quite often it is not and conditions can change radically in a matter of hours! Overnight: Great Harbour (near Calalloo Beach Bar), Little Harbour, Sprat Bay and when sea conditions allow, White Bay and the western side of Key Point close to Key Cay. Daytime Only: Deadman's Bay Additional Information: Peter Island Resort

Description:		This rock marks the starboard side of the entrance to Fat Hog's Bay and Penn's Landing Marinas.

Road Reef
Location:		South of Tortola at the port entrance to Road Harbour.
Description:		Appears to be part of Tortola but in fact is a separate Cay. A small bridge spans the narrow channel between the two islands. Here you will find the Royal BVI Yacht Club, Virgin Islands Search and Rescue, the BVI Marine Police base and Tortola Marine Management or TMM.

Round Rock
