Norman Island
Island in Out Islands
Since 1843, writers have alleged that treasure is buried on Norman Island, supposedly the prototype for Robert Louis Stevenson’s book Treasure Island. It fits the bill: Norman is the BVI’s largest uninhabited landmass.
Today adventurers come for two raucous beach bars. The William Thornton, aka Willy T, is a schooner converted into a bar-restaurant and moored in the bight. Pirate's Bight is an open-air pavilion on the beach. Both have loud music and a party-hearty crowd.
If you don't have your own boat, call Pirate's Bight and ask about the ferry (round-trip US$20).
