Cayo Norte (Spanish for "North Cay" or "North Key"), also historically known as West Key or North East Key, is the largest privately owned archipelago and island of Puerto Rico. Currently the property of Google co-founder Larry Page via SVI Investments, Inc, the island is located about 0.6 nautical mile (1.0 km) northeast of island-municipality of Culebra Island, about 21 nautical miles (36 km) east of the main island of Puerto Rico and 12 nautical miles (20 km) west of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. The island is part of the municipality of Culebra and therein of the barrio San Isidro. It is the only privately owned island in the Culebra archipelago, and is not part of the Culebra National Wildlife Refuge as are most of the other nearby islands and keys.
