Beef Island

Abacos

Beef island is part of the British Virgin Islands chain. The issue with Beef island is the fact that there is little in the way of population. The main part of the island is a large airport that supports the surrounding islands. The rest of the island is a large brush covered mountain that features largely unused hiking trails. The Beef Island Airport is the main port in and out of the nearby Tortola. Environmentalists have thwarted efforts over the years to build on Beef Island past the airport. They are hoping to preserve the natural habitat of several endangered animals that call this area home.

Water Sports
There are no known water sport activities on the island as it is largely uninhabited.

Island Diversity
The main population of the island is the workers on the airport strip which are British for the most part.

Activities
There are no known activities other than some hiking on the mountain side for the Beef Island Area.
