Frenchman's Cay
18° 23.0′ N · 64° 42.0′ W
The mile-long cay that forms the south side of Soper's Hole, joined to Tortola's West End by a short bridge and home to a yacht harbour, restaurants, houses and a resort.
Practical
About 1 mile long and 500 yards wide, roughly 400 m east of Little Thatch across Thatch Island Cut (Wikipedia). The bridge to Tortola was demolished and rebuilt by the BVI government in 2022. The cay shelters Soper's Hole from the south; its south shore faces the Sir Francis Drake Channel and the cut.
