Key Bay (Peter Island)
18° 20.9′ N · 64° 35.9′ W · approximate
A small, rarely busy bay on Peter Island's south side with room for two or three boats, seagrass turtles and the Willy T wreck dive just offshore.
Practical
Approximate position: placed in the south-side bay west of Key Cay (the islet off the southern spit), from the OpenStreetMap coastline; verify on your plotter. Yacht Warriors (2024): approach from the southwest and tuck into the northeast corner in about 15 ft over sand, seagrass and some coral; avoid with any south in the wind, as swell wraps around Key Cay. Noonsite rates it a day stop; the resort lists moorings here (VHF 72). Convenient first or last stop near the Tortola bases.
Best for
A secluded stop with turtles and a wreck dive next door
