Destination Overview

Salt Pond BVI is a unique natural feature on Salt Island with deep ties to the island’s cultural past. For generations, locals harvested salt here by hand. Using the sun and simple tools, they collected sea salt from shallow flats. This tradition helped support families living on the island.

You can still see the old ponds today. Crystallized salt often forms along the edges after rainfall. The setting feels quiet and untouched, perfect for a scenic walk or photo stop. The trails nearby give great views of the island’s rugged interior.

Even now, small batches of salt are collected from the ponds. Local artisans use it to create handmade BVI soaps, blending tradition with creativity. These soaps are popular souvenirs and a reminder of the island’s history.

With no crowds or buildings, the Salt Pond is ideal for travelers who enjoy raw landscapes and local stories. It’s a peaceful stop worth exploring on your Salt Island visit.
