Mosquito Island

Mosquito Island lies in the entrance of Virgin Gorda's North Sound. Measuring 125ac/50ha, the island resembles a green gumdrop and is named for the Miskito Indian tribe, whose relics have been found here. The terrain of the island is largely untended and undeveloped, creating a nature sanctuary offering several hiking trails. Although the island is privately owned, there is a small resort, dock and restaurant on the south side of the island.
