Cooper Island
A quiet small island in the southern channel, with an eco beach resort, a craft beer bar and a rum bar. A favorite anchorage for sailors.
Cooper Island lies on the south side of Francis Drake Channel, between Salt Island and Ginger Island. Its only resort is a solar-powered eco beach club with a restaurant, a craft beer bar, a rum bar and an ice cream shop. The beach at Manchioneel Bay is calm, and sea turtles can be seen snorkeling just off shore. Nearby dive sites include the RMS Rhone wreck and Cistern Point. There is no public ferry, so visitors need to arrive by charter boat, water taxi or day tour.
