Discover more about Pomato Point

Pomato Point is a hidden gem on the northern coast of Anegada, the most northerly and geologically distinct island in the British Virgin Islands. Unlike the volcanic isles that make up the rest of the archipelago, Anegada is a flat island formed from limestone and coral. This unique geography gives Pomato Point its characteristic white sandy beaches and shallow, crystal-clear waters, ideal for swimming and sunbathing. Pomato Point provides a tranquil setting, perfect for escaping crowded anchorages. The calm waters are also great for snorkeling, with diverse marine life inhabiting the nearby Horseshoe Reef, the largest in the Caribbean and fourth largest in the world. Keep an eye out for colorful fish, stingrays, and maybe even a sea turtle. Sid's Pomato Point Restaurant is a must-visit while you're there. This charming eatery offers delicious local cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy fresh seafood, including the island's famous lobster and conch, while taking in the stunning views. While some charter companies may mark Pomato Point as off-limits for anchoring, its land-based attractions and overall seclusion make it a worthwhile destination. Whether you're seeking a peaceful beach day, a delicious meal, or a glimpse into Anegada's unique natural beauty, Pomato Point offers an unforgettable Caribbean experience.
