Sandy Spit is what is left of a larger cay; hurricanes have repeatedly stripped and rebuilt it, and its palms have been replanted more than once. It is protected as part of the BVI's national parks system. Anchorage: A day anchorage off a sand islet with a handful of palms, the postcard island of the BVI, and small enough to walk round in three minutes. Green Cay next door has the reef.
