Although Peter Island is currently rebuilding their five-star resort after hurricane Irma, the public still has access to their beautiful beaches, the best one being Deadman’s Beach. Despite having quite an unsettling name, it is a one-mile crescent curved beach, with white powdery sands, swaying palm trees and pristine tropical waters to enjoy.
Immerse yourself in the scenery and tranquility that Peter Island has to offer with “Deadman’s Beach” being listed as one of the world’s top 10 beaches to visit.
Have you ever heard of the saying “Yo ho-ho and a bottle of rum”? This phrase originated from the pirate tales that surround Peter Island, as this too was another pirate hot spot back in the 18th century!
The reason why the beach was named “Deadman’s Beach” is due to the adjacent island located nearby known as “Deadman’s Chest”. Legend tells us that this island is where the infamous pirate “Blackbeard” left fifteen of his crew stranded after a mutiny. He left them here with only a case of rum and sword. Those that didn’t survive washed up onto Peter Island’s; Deadman’s Beach.
