The Baths
The Baths on Virgin Gorda
Virgin Gorda's major attraction is "The Baths" located on the southern end of the island. The Baths are a number of huge granite boulders strewn on the beach, forming scenic caves that are open to the sea.
The Baths are all about exploring the various nooks and crannies between the boulders - by foot and also swimming and snorkeling. It is a fantastic natural playground for kids, and adults as well who enjoy a unique rock formation, and the interplay of beach, rock and tides.
The Baths are located at the far western end of Virgin Gorda - they're very apparent from the sea. There are many mooring balls, but it's best to come early as the Baths are a very popular attraction and will fill up by mid morning. We recommend getting there in the early morning, for the calm before everyone arrives, so you can explore the nooks and crannies by yourselves.
The BVI has an alert system to let you know of the sea conditions around the Baths:
Red Flag: Sea conditions are too rough to use the moorings. You must move to a safer anchorage.
Yellow Flag: Use mooring balls with extreme caution. Do not leave your boat unattended.
Green Flag: Good conditions - moorings are available for use.
Blue Flag: Warning - Jellyfish are present.
