Norman Island

Norman Island is located at the southern tip of the British Virgin Islands archipelago. It is reputed to be the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's pirate novel "Treasure Island."

The island is uninhabited and privately owned. Its area is about 600 acres (2.4 km²), and is about 2.5 miles (4 km) long. A large harbor known as "The Bight" offers one of the most protected anchorages in the area. It's considered to be one of the "Little Sisters," along with Pelican Island, Peter Island , Salt Island , Dead Chest , and Ginger Island . This group of islands is smaller, lower, and more arid than other islands to the north and west.

Norman Island is a well-known destination for cruisers and other tourists because of 3 water-level caves at the base of cliffs near the western edge of The Bight. The caves are ideal for snorkeling, and push deeply enough into the cliffs that darkness makes the experience like a night dive. Pirate treasure was found in the caves, and the legends of the island are filled with tales of additional treasure still waiting to be discovered.
