Frequently Asked Questions
The ship stays at anchor and tenders run to Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour, the marina at Spanish Town. Taxis wait at the exit; the entrance to the Baths national park is about ten minutes away by road.
Granite boulders the size of houses, piled in disorder at the edge of translucent water, forming a maze of caves, pools and passages. These rounded rocks came from magma cooled deep underground and later exposed by millions of years of erosion.
The full route, from the entrance to the sand on the far side, takes about half an hour without stops. Most passengers spend hours there anyway, since each chamber leads to the next.
A trail drops down under the trees to the first jumble of granite, then you work your way between the stone masses, sometimes on sand, sometimes up wooden ladders and ropes, through chambers where the water reaches mid-thigh. Bring shoes that tolerate water and keep your hands free.
Early in the morning. Excursion catamarans pour in around midday, and the site changes character entirely. A modest entrance fee is collected at the park gate.
The golden-sand cove where the Baths route emerges, set among the boulders. It suits mask and snorkel well along the submerged blocks, where sergeant majors and parrotfish patrol.
Yes, by going to Spring Bay instead, next door and reachable by road. You get the same setting of stone giants and equally clear water with fewer people. Above the site entrance, the Top of the Baths terrace adds a pool and a view down over the yachts.
Savannah Bay, which unrolls nearly a kilometre and a half of rarely crowded sand a few minutes north of Spanish Town. Near the southern point, the ruins of a copper mine worked in the nineteenth century by miners from Cornwall still stand facing the open sea.
From Christopher Columbus. Seen from offshore, the island's elongated profile suggested a "fat virgin" to his crew, hence Virgin Gorda. At the centre of that profile, Gorda Peak rises to 414 metres in a deep green national park.
The US dollar, official currency of the British Virgin Islands. Taxis charge regulated fares, and the marina gathers a dive counter, craft shops and a few unpretentious cafés.
