Little Harbour, nestled on the eastern shores of Peter Island in the British Virgin Islands, provides a cozy and sheltered anchorage ideal for boats seeking calm waters and scenic surroundings. The cove is small—accommodating just a handful of vessels—so secure your spot early in the day. With depths ranging from approximately 20 to 30 feet and a sandy bottom interspersed with patches of seagrass, the area offers good holding, though approaching it slowly and with care is wise to avoid underwater vegetation and coral growth.
Though there are no mooring balls in Little Harbour, anchoring is reliable in the sandy areas, and using two anchors can help maintain stability in shifting winds. The natural protection afforded by the surrounding hills keeps the water relatively calm, though occasional swells may filter in depending on the swell direction, so a careful weather check is recommended.
Ashore, Little Harbour is peaceful and undeveloped—perfect for nature lovers. The shoreline is framed by lush greenery, with a rocky beach and trails winding into the interior of Peter Island. Though lacking in amenities, the area’s quiet charm encourages unwinding aboard or setting out on walks along nature paths. Ideal for those seeking a secluded daytime stop or overnight mooring in a picturesque, low-key environment.
