Map - Beef Island, British Virgin Islands

Located at the eastern tip of Tortola and joined by the Queen Elizabeth bridge, Beef Island is home to the Terrence B. Lettsome International Airport (EIS), the main airport for the British Virgin Islands. There are no direct international flights to the BVI. Travelers fly into one of the major Caribbean hubs such as Puerto Rico, Antigua, St. Martin or St. Thomas to board connecting flights to the airport.

Mooring Balls - (29) - Pay for moorings at The Last Resort on Bellamy Cay, owned and operated by British Comedian, Tony Snell.

Trellis Bay Entrance: The "No Go Zone" is clearly marked by a series of 8, yellow flashing markers. Vessels not exceeding 10' in height may traverse the No Go Zone safely. (See map inset and photo below).

Round the cardinal buoy at Sprat Rock, stay between the yellow flashing markers and 2 green channel markers. Although it may not "appear" to be deep enough, the minimum depth is 12' in this zone. Yachts with masts exceeding 50' must request permission to enter Trellis Bay. Call the Civil Aviation Department on VHF Channel 16.

Trellis Bay, "No Go Zone" - The reason to stay clear is self explanatory!
