Petit Nevis is a small, privately owned island in the Grenadines, off the coast of Bequia.

[1] Petit Nevis was historically used as a whaling station, where whalers would process their catches.

However, whaling activities ceased on Petit Nevis in 2006 when the owners of the island decided to distance themselves from the practice.

Eileen Corea, the last surviving, direct, legal owner of the island, died in July 2011.

A small isolationist community called Moonhole on nearby Bequia scavenges whale bones from old sites, including Petit Nevis, for building materials.
