Avocaré Island, also known as Avoquer, Avocaire or L'Avocaire, is an island in the St. Brandon archipelago, classified as a Group 3 Island in a World Bank report recommending the creation of the St. Brandon marine protected area. Visited in 1846 by British naval officer Edward Belcher, who found it a principal fishing station, the island is today an uninhabited bird and turtle sanctuary with restricted access to prevent the introduction of invasive species.
