Wesley Weir is a seaside settlement on the eastern end of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, a British Overseas Territory. Adjacent to the famous signposted "Eye in the Sky", it is situated at the junction of emerald green hills and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
The area is undulating, with tranquil bays and coral reefs. As part of the East End community of Tortola, Wesley Weir retains its pristine natural beauty, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and small, secluded beaches.
Wesley Weir is known for its secluded living environment and is an ideal stopping point for sailing enthusiasts and divers. The local architecture is mostly brightly colored Caribbean-style houses and the pace of life is slow, making it suitable for visitors seeking an escape to experience the native culture of the island.
