Basking in The Baths at Virgin Gorda
One natural landmark is making a big splash in tourism on the British Virgin Islands
Massive structures line the Caribbean shore to create tunnels and arches that provide a wonderful way to explore the area and the breathtaking views that come with it
Imagine white sandy beaches, blue Caribbean waters and one of the most captivating natural landmarks to ever connect the sea and shore. The Baths at Virgin Gorda are comprised of massive boulders and partially submerged rocks that line the shore to create tunnels, arches and grottos. Whether you are looking for a place to swim, explore, snorkel or just desire a breathtakingly stunning photo for your vacation album, this popular landmark is a must see spot in the British Virgin Islands.
At the entrance to The Baths, visitors will enjoy the Top of the Baths restaurant for amazing views, fresh drinks and plenty of food to choose from. In addition to dining, tourists will enjoy the many shops located at the entrance offering gifts, clothing and other island collectibles. Because it is such a popular landmark and one of the most frequently visited in the British Virgin Islands, the area also features private rental villas for those who want to enjoy the spectacular views and tranquil location both day and night.
"The Baths is one of the most well known and popular landmarks
to visit in the British Virgin Islands," says Top of the Baths.
Although The Baths are beautiful from a distance, they are even more dramatic up close. Both locals and tourists regularly travel by sea and auto to explore the area in their own unique way. If you plan to examine The Baths on foot, watch for slippery areas and take great care when using wooden walkways or ropes to continue on your path. The boulders are often slippery and may have black moss in some areas, which is why shoe selection is very important if you plan to visit the area using the available walking trails.
Snorkeling is another popular way to see The Baths closeup and also provides a wonderful way to view local fish, turtles, rays and even the occasional sea horse. Sea life is plentiful at The Baths but, due to the rock formations, coral is not. Natural rock carvings from both wind and water leave many visitors in awe of the various images. It's important to note that there are no lifeguards on duty and, therefore, tourists should follow any/all warning signs carefully when visiting The Baths of Virgin Gorda.
Visit The Baths at Virgin Gorda or the Top of the Baths restaurant for more information or call 284-495-5497. For sightseeing, exploring, dining, snorkeling, shopping and sunbathing at its best, this natural landmark has it all. The Baths at Virgin Gorda offer a refreshing look at a tropical island paradise that you will never forget.
