Carvel Rock (British Virgin Islands)

Carvel Rock (sometimes spelled Carval Rock ) is an uninhabited islet of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, less than 2 acre in size. It lies at the southern edge of the archipelago, south of and roughly between Ginger Island and Cooper Island.

The waters around it are a scuba diving site, but its sheer cliffs and lack of a beach make landing practically impossible.
