Attractions on Peter Island

Peter Island makes up the south and westernmost islands along the south edge of the Sir Francis Drake channel, together with petite Pelican Island and Norman Island. Peter Island has the luxurious Peter Island Resort, with shops and a restaurant, and is open to the public. This privately owned island resort is accessible by water only. It is a great place to stay with its excellent sporting facilities. Tennis, sailing, and diving are all available, and five miles of secluded beaches are there for those who only want to live in the sun.

The sailing is spectacular and just a short hop from anchorage to anchorage. The Caves and The Indians are two of the most delightful, underwater aquatic refuges and are perfect for all levels of snorkeling. Undeveloped, except for the resort, there are some roads which are perfect for a good hike across the island.

Peter Island has two anchorages on the protected north side, Great Harbour, (also home to the Peter Island Yacht Harbour, where you will find overnight slips available as well as moorings), and Little Harbour, just to the west. White Bay, on Peter Island, is a good, day anchorage. There are several small, yet lovely, beaches on Peter Island. White Bay, on the more remote south side of Peter, Deadman's Bay, and Great Harbour.
