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! |

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!
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
