Visit Sandy Spit — A Secluded Island Experience in the BVI
Sandy Spit is one of the most unique and recognizable locations in the British Virgin Islands. Located just off Jost Van Dyke, this small, uninhabited island is known for its white sand, shallow turquoise water, and single cluster of palm trees — creating a true castaway setting.
A private boat charter to Sandy Spit allows you to access this remote location directly, avoid crowds, and experience one of the most photographed spots in the Caribbean at your own pace.
Why Sandy Spit is a Must-Visit Destination
Sandy Spit offers a completely different experience from larger beaches in the Virgin Islands. Its small size and isolated location create a quiet, controlled environment ideal for relaxing and enjoying the natural surroundings.
The water surrounding Sandy Spit is typically calm and shallow, making it easy to access from the boat. The visibility is consistently clear, and the setting is ideal for swimming, wading, and taking in uninterrupted views of the surrounding islands.
This combination of simplicity, accessibility, and scenery makes Sandy Spit one of the most sought-after stops in the BVI.
What You Can Expect at Sandy Spit
