Prickly Pear beach (British Virgin Islands) is located outside the Leverick Bay settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Prickly pear island and the correct question is not how to get to Prickly Pear beach, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land.
