About Beef Island
Beef Island is a small island of about 371 hectares at the eastern end of Tortola, the main island of the British Virgin Islands, joined to it by the short Queen Elizabeth II Bridge. Most of the island is undeveloped, and its largest feature is Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport, the territory's main airport.
Trellis Bay, on the north side, has a coral-sand beach about 1.5 km long, a sheltered yacht anchorage, beach bars and a small artists' community. It is known for lively evenings on the beach with live music, fire dancers and Caribbean food.
Small ships occasionally anchor in the bay, usually for an evening visit.
