Things to do
Floating Bar (Willy T's)
The Willy T is a legendary 110-foot steel boat docked in The Bight on Norman Island that serves as a bustling floating restaurant and bar known for its party atmosphere, and high-diving deck, a popular feature where you jump from the upper deck into the blue ocean. It has a casual Caribbean vibe, pub-grub food, music, and is only accessible by boat.
Pirates Bight
Pirates Bight on Norman Island is a renowned, picturesque beachside restaurant and bar noted for its lively ambiance, Caribbean cuisine and trademark drinks. It is located right on a sandy beach in The Bight Bay and provides both beachside seating and elevated dining with views. If you want to go hiking, the trail begins behind Pirates Bight and ascends to the ridge, which provides panoramic views of the Sir Francis Drake Channel. Iguanas, hermit crabs, and birds are common sightings, and the trails lead to calm, rocky beaches like Money Bay for sunset viewing.
The Caves & The Indians

These three underwater limestone caves are famous snorkelling destinations, featuring dark, coral-covered caves teeming with tropical fish. 'The Indians' are four towering, granite pinnacles, located five minutes from the Caves which rise around 50 feet above the ocean and plummet about 50 feet below. A popular diving and snorkelling destination nearby, with abundant marine life, including sea turtles. Most visitors arrive at these locations by a catamaran day-sail cruise, which frequently includes lunch, an open bar, and a casual and friendly atmosphere.
