Cooper Island is a small uninhabited British Virgin Island, 3 kilometres long, in the Sir Francis Drake Channel south of Tortola and east of Norman Island. The island is mostly low scrub with a single development — the Cooper Island Beach Club, a 9-room eco-resort with a beach bar and restaurant that has become a standard BVI charter dinner stop. The anchorage at Manchioneel Bay on the west coast holds a 40-mooring-ball field facing a 500-metre white-sand beach. South of the bay, Cistern Point is a shallow snorkel site over coral heads in 3-6 metres of water. The neighbouring Salt Island (5 minutes south) holds the BVI's most-famous wreck dive, the RMS Rhone mail ship sunk in an 1867 hurricane. Cooper Island is 60 minutes from Tortola. Season runs year-round.
