Cooper Island is a small island of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. It is one of the "Little Sisters" islands.
There are five privately owned properties on the island, plus a small beach club resort. Cooper Island Beach Club has 8 hotel rooms, a restaurant, rum bar, coffee shop, solar powered brewery, and gift shop. Facilities are open to guests, day visitors and yachts using the nearby moorings. Manchioneel Bay (/ˈmækəniːl/) features 30 mooring balls that accommodate vessels up to 60 feet.
Cooper Island is a popular stop for yachts, group tours visiting The Baths on Virgin Gorda, and day boat charters from Tortola, St. Thomas, and St. John.
The island lies adjacent to "wreck alley", a popular wreck diving site in the British Virgin Islands where a number of vessels have been deliberately sunk as dive sites. A local dive store near the beach club rents tanks to certified scuba divers.
