THE BATHS
(located in The Valley)
This is probably the most famous beach in the British Virgin Islands, but guess what, because no regular cruise ships go to the islands of Virgin Gorda the beach is almost never ever crowded. The Baths has ample parking and a dirt trail leads to the beach. Enormous boulders with nested sea pools, caves and white sandy beach area. The Boulders in many places seem to to form many caves where at times there are little rays of light that peek in from above. This popularity is a great attraction on Virgin Gorda and as a result, it can become very crowded when the small cruise ships come calling. The best times are 8AM-10AM, and 3PM-5PM. Restrooms, Changing rooms, lockers and refreshments are available on the beach.
