Gentle Breezes and Great Food Make Peter Island a Special Place

Peter Island, British Virgin Islands postcard
Peter Island, British Virgin Islands

Peter Island is truly paradise!Β 

My great great grandfather purchased the Great Harbor area in 1913 with the hope of turning it into a coaling station.

Everything changed when he died a few years later.

The property sat for many years until being sold to the present owners of the island.

Visitors have loved Peter Island too.

Here’s a postcard someone sent home to their family long ago.

Peter Island

“This is really a great island!

The picture is the main beach.

Great breezes, good food and a nice place to relax.

Very quiet and peaceful. Hate to have to leave here.
The four-seater plane was something else!”
