18° 43.4′ N · 64° 22.9′ W · approximate
Anegada lobster is a seasonal fishery: lobster generally comes off the menu for a few weeks late each summer and early autumn when the season is closed.
Practical
Position is approximate: the Setting Point restaurant strip. The Moorings (2019): lobster can be caught only by licensed commercial fishermen, and the season generally runs from early November to the end of July but changes yearly. Visitors may not take lobster (Yacht Warriors) and conch is strictly protected. If lobster is the point of your visit in August to October, call ahead to the restaurants. Many BVI businesses also slow down or close in September and October.
