The Ginger Island Light beacon is located on Ginger Island, a small uninhabited island in the British Virgin Islands. The island is situated in the Caribbean Sea, approximately 8 kilometers southwest of Virgin Gorda.
The island itself is roughly 258 acres in size and is one of the last undeveloped privately held islands in the territory. It is currently owned by Texas oil billionaire William Harrison. The island is home to two notable dive sites, "Alice in Wonderland" and "Ginger Steppes", but it is not commonly visited due to the lack of dockage and overgrown vegetation.
There is limited information available on the Ginger Island Light beacon itself, but it is known to be part of the island's landscape. The island's remote location and private ownership have contributed to its relatively unknown status, but it remains a notable location in the British Virgin Islands, particularly for its dive sites and scenic views.
