Prickly Pear is an uninhabited island of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. Even though the island doesn't have permanent residents, it has a beach bar and recreational water sports facility on it. It is located on the north side of North Sound, opposite Virgin Gorda.
The island was declared to be a National Park in 1988. [1]
The island provides habitat for the common Puerto Rican ameiva (Ameiva exsul), crested anole (Anolis cristatellus wileyae), barred anole ( Anolis stratulus), and the big-scaled least gecko (Sphaerodactylus macrolepis macrolepis). [2] The island's flora includes agave (Agave missionum), and copperwood ( Bursera simarouba). [3]
