Earliest inhabitants that paddled up from South America were recorded about 5000 years ago on Scrub Island.

At this time, Scrub was presumably connected to Great Camanoe and Marina Cay Island because sea level was significantly lower.

In late 2013 the Scrub Island Resort went into bankruptcy protection in the United States,[1] and was locked in dispute with its primary lender, FirstBank, after receivers were appointed in the British Virgin Islands in relation to unpaid loans made to the Resort.

It has 52 guest accommodations as well as a collection of two-, three- and four-bedroom villas, Ixora Spa, restaurants, three private beaches and a 55-slip marina.

The island is virtually vehicle-free with resort shuttles serving as the primary form of transportation.

Scrub Island Resort accommodations consist of 26 guest rooms; 26, one- and two-bedroom suites; and a collection of hillside villas.

The shallows surrounding Scrub Island, as well as many nearby coves, bays, reefs and inlets, are used by snorkelers and divers.
