Norman Island

Norman Island has hands down the best snorkeling in the BVI. You have 3 locations to snorkel nearby, the Indians, Pelican Island and Treasure Point. Not only that but where we moored at Bight Bay, we swam with a giant sea turtle. And found 2 octopi near the Caves at Treasure Point.

I have spent time in and thoroughly explored 45 national parks in the USA in my life. I have been to dozens of state parks as well. So when I say this place is the best place I've ever been to, that is saying something. The water is crystal clear and 87°F in late July. We moored right by the caves for four nights and used our dinghy to motor over and eat lunch at the Willy T twice. The jump from the Willy T is thrilling and it's such a social place with so many friendly people. We saw big fish and small fish galore while snorkelling near the caves. It was like swimming in an aquarium. We saw everything we wanted to see here. We sailed all around the BVIs for 12 days and we all agreed Norman Island was the best location of them all. If you want the best snorkelling of your life in warm, clear water and a mooring spot that is perfectly calm and protected and a great spot for cliff jumping, this is the place!

The waters off Norman Island are beautiful, crystal clear and tranquil. Easy to snorkel or dive with plenty of marine life to view. To date there are only a couple of commercial buildings on the island. There is Pirate’s Bight, which is a restaurant and next to it a gift shop. I believe there is one additional eatery as well. The only way to get there is by boat. I understand that places like this aren’t for everyone; it’s not a haven for shopping, it’s not a place to party and your dining options are limited. There is, in fact, little to do except enjoy the pristine waters, relax and float. But for some of us this is Eden; no worries, no hustle and bustle, no hassles and no chaos of everyday living.

sailing private yacht. swim, scuba dive or just relax in the sun ..heaven on earth. they need visitors to help with hurricane recovery. .

Such a nice place to go and have some food and enjoy the beach or hike around or go snorkeling, does very good for taken unforgettable photos 📷🤿🐠

Many folks are skipping Norman Island because they won't let the Willy T there. Getting too full of themselves. Sad. Willy T was historical and a major part of the BVIs.

Great place for snorkeling at any stage, beginners, advanced etc.

Wonderful!
