Bellamy Cay Light beacon

The Bellamy Cay Light beacon is located on Bellamy Cay, a small island in the British Virgin Islands, within Trellis Bay on Beef Island. The island has a fascinating history, formerly known as Blanco Islet, and was a base of operations for the infamous pirate Samuel Bellamy in 1716 and 1717. The cay was later acquired by Władysław Wagner, a Polish yachtsman, in the early 1950s, who built a boatyard, marine railway, and several buildings.

The island is home to a metal mast lighthouse, which is a notable feature of the cay. The lighthouse is a simple mast with a light, and its exact year of construction is not specified. The island has undergone significant changes over the years, with various owners and establishments, including a restaurant and hotel. Since the 1970s, the cay has been home to the restaurant and bar called "The Last Resort".

The island suffered significant damage from Hurricane Irma in 2017, and much of the buildings and developments are now in ruins. Despite its current state, the island remains a notable location in the British Virgin Islands, with a rich history of piracy and maritime activity. The lighthouse on Bellamy Cay is an important part of the island's history and a significant feature of the cay's landscape.
