The BathsCity/Region: Virgin Gorda
Virgin Gorda is remarkable not only for its exceptional beauty, but is also the site of one of the British Virgin Island's most famous attractions, known as The Baths. Gigantic boulders lie strewn along the island's spectacular beaches forming picturesque tidal pools and magical grottos that invite hours of exploration, swimming and snorkeling. The fascinating rock formations were caused by volcanic activity thousands of years ago and today are the most visited natural wonder in the region. Virgin Gorda attracts visitors from neighboring islands and The Baths are best enjoyed in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowds.
