Norman Island

Since 1843, various legends have deemed Norman Island the site of buried treasure. Measuring 2mi/3.2km in length and 0.5mi/0.8km in width, Norman Island is the largest uninhabited island in the British Virgin Islands. Lying 6mi/10km southwest of Tortola, the anchorage at the Bight, known for good snorkelling, is usually crowded with sailboats, swimmers and dinghies.

Apart from the beaches at the Bight and Benures Bay on the east side of Norman Island, the terrain is mostly undeveloped and impenetrable. There is a hiking trail between the Bight and Spyglass Hill, however it is not always cleared and there is a chance of meeting wild goats and cattle along the path.
