Petite Nevis, Private island in Grenadines Parish, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

The 71-acre Caribbean island reaches an elevation of 61 meters and features palm-fringed coral sand beaches along its 1.75-mile coastline.

The island served as a processing station for whale catches during the 20th century, supporting the traditional whaling practices of nearby Bequia inhabitants.

Local whale boat captain Athneal Ollivierre, a former part-owner of the island, maintained whaling traditions until his death in 2000.

A protected west-facing bay provides quarter-mile anchorage for boats, while multiple beaches offer entry points for swimming and water activities.

The residents of Moonhole community on Bequia collect whale bones from Petite Nevis and incorporate them into their building structures.
