LOCAL ATTRACTIONS:
The 'Indians'. Not a race of people or the baseball team but a geological feature of startlingly jagged rocks that break the surface of the sea near Peter Island. This unusual outcropping, rising from a depth of 50 feet, is a landmark for sailors to avoid (except as a terrific anchorage) and destination for snorkelers to explore.
ACCESS TO BEACH:
Deadman Bay is accessible to the non-guest but only via public ferry or private boat.
QUALITY OF BEACH:
A beautiful sweeping curve of sand, palm lined, with excellent swimming in this shallow sandy bay.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
Although privately owned, Peter Island does welcome non-guests to enjoy the beach, restaurant and water facilities.
