Carvel Rock (sometimes spelled Carval Rock [1]) is an uninhabited islet of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, less than 2 acres (8,100 m2) 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.[2][3][4]
