The Bight

✨ Hidden gem

The Bight is a well-protected anchorage on the north end of Norman Island, widely believed to be the real-life inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. You'll drop the hook in calm, clear water with easy access to the famous Caves—a series of sea caves around the headland that are some of the best snorkeling in the BVI. The floating Willy T bar is usually moored nearby, making it a lively spot once the sun goes down.
