Sandy Spit
Sandy Spit is a tiny, uninhabited islet of the British Virgin Islands, sitting to the south of Green Cay, off Jost Van Dyke, in the direction of Sandy Cay. It measures less than half an acre in size, and consists entirely of a ring of sandy beach surrounding light foliage.
The island has the appearance of a classic paradise "desert island" and has been photographed for use in print medium in a number of advertising campaigns.
Sandy Spit is a popular stop for day and term boat charters from Tortola, and the American islands of St Thomas, and St John. There are no moorings, but the sandy bottom is suitable for anchoring.
