Geocache Description:

Once on Peter Island enjoy the hike on a great path from the harbour to find one of the best sunsets in the BVI. Have a seat and enjoy the sunset while you log your visit.

Source WIKIPEDIA The 720 hectare (1,779 acre)[1] Peter Island, is a private island located in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), about 5.2 miles[vague] south-west (195 degrees true) from Road Harbour (Road Town), Tortola. Dead Chest Island, an uninhabited island, is close to Peter Island. It is part of the BVI archipelago that runs along the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Peter Island is the largest private island in the BVI and the fifth largest of 60 islands, quays, and exposed reefs that comprise the BVI. It was owned by the Amway Corporation from 1978[2] until 2001 when full ownership was transferred to the Van Andel family, co-owners of Amway.[3] The beaches face the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, and Sir Francis Drake Channel. Two of the beaches (Honeymoon and White bay) are for guest use only. The island is predominately undeveloped with hiking and biking trails on which to discover the tropical flora and fauna indigenous to Peter Island. The only hotel, the 52-room Peter Island Resort, ranked in Conde Nast Traveler’s “Gold List,” and the Travel and Leisure “T+L 500” for 2007, is accessible by boat or helicopter. A 1984 review in the New York Times was critical of the food.[2] It has since twice been named by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the "Best Places to Stay in the World".[3] The island was named after Pieter Adriensen (nicknamed "The Commander") who was the brother of Abraham Adriensen, Patron of Tortola under the Dutch West India Company in the early 17th century. Pieter Adriensen and Joost van Dyk built a fort and slave pens at Great Harbour on Peter Island to facilitate privateering and the nascent trade in slaves from Angola.
