The Baths are a unique natural area on the southwestern end of Virgin Gorda, where giant granite boulders are scattered across the beach and shoreline, forming caves, grottos, and tidal pools that are incredibly fun to explore. These massive rocks rest on a stunning white sand beach with crystal clear water and breathtaking views.

Designated as a National Park in 1990, The Baths are geologically distinct from most Caribbean islands, which are volcanic. The granite boulders originated as hot magma that cooled beneath the earth’s surface and, over millions of years of erosion, were shaped into the dramatic formations you see today.

A descending trail leads visitors down to the beach, where a few small concessions offer cold drinks, snacks, and restrooms. There’s a small fee to enter the park upon arrival.

This is a fantastic spot for visitors of all ages. Be sure to wear a swimsuit and bring plenty of water. You’ll find two beautiful beaches to explore: Spring Bay and Devils Bay. If possible, try to visit on a non ship day to avoid the crowds.

A day at The Baths is full of adventure, natural beauty, and unforgettable views. Give Nate a call today to reserve your Virgin Gorda adventure.
