The prime overnight anchorage at these smaller islands, The gorgeous sweeping arc of beach at the Cooper Island Beach Club draws sailors into its tiny paradise. Centrally located to The Baths, The Rhone, Peter and Norman Islands, the Beef Island airport, Road Town, and just about everything else in the BVI, This spot would give you plenty of reasons to stop by even if there wasn’t that fabulous beach.

Approach: is straightforward from the north or west with no hazards. Coming into the bay itself, be prepared for the breeze to be cut off completely by Quart-O-Nancy point.

Anchoring/Mooring: This is a deep bay that would make anchoring difficult, and so has been sprinkled with mooring balls for your convenience. Pick any up, with the most protected toward the south. When the breeze is up, great eddying gusts can whip around the point and send the boats on the northernmost balls spinning a bit.

Ashore: The gorgeous and accessible Cooper Island Beach Club, with restaurants, bars and shops to keep you busy if you're not splayed out on that fantastic stretch of sand...

Don't Miss: A sunset staring right down the length of the Sir Francis Drake Channel. St. John is in the distance, and your veiw is rimmed by a continuous line of green gems. The lights of Road Town begin to blink to the north, and the sun dips lower creating a rich, orange light perfect for photos of Cooper, your crew, and this ethereal setting. Grab a cocktail and soak it all in.
