Virgin Gorda

Virgin Gorda is the second most populated island in the British Virgin Islands and is known for its natural beauty and awe-inspiring topography. The island itself is known by many as the “Fat Virgin” as this what Christopher Columbus used to call it. Supposedly, from a distance the island looks like a woman laying down on her side, showing off her hourglass figure.   The centrepiece of this dramatic area on Virgin Gorda's north shore is The Baths, a geological wonder comprised of awe-inspiring granite boulders, which form sheltered sea pools on the beach's edge. The protected area also includes Devil's Bay, which can be reached from The Baths by a series of ladders scaling the boulders. Just north of The Baths, Spring Bay is reached by a separate road and includes a lovely white sand beach. Encompassing the beaches and rocky shoreline at the southwestern tip of Virgin Gorda, The Baths is a collection of massive granite boulders as large as 40 feet in diameter, with white sand beaches
