The Baths (Virgin Gorda)
The Baths
Caves and tidal pools formed by giant granite boulders on the beach at the southwest tip of Virgin Gorda. Squeeze through the caves to reach Devil's Bay, the BVI's top attraction.
The Baths lie at the southwest tip of Virgin Gorda. Granite boulders several dozen metres across lie scattered along the beach, stacked together to form natural caves, tunnels and turquoise tidal pools, with sunlight filtering in through the gaps in the stone. A path with wooden ladders and ropes leads about 20–30 minutes to neighbouring Devil's Bay Beach, where you can also go snorkelling. The national park entry fee is about US$3. From Road Town, take a ferry to Spanish Town (about 30 minutes) and then a taxi, or join a day-trip speedboat tour. When the North Sound has heavy swells, landing from the sea may be prohibited.
