About The Baths

Virgin Gorda's southwest tip is a geological outlier – The Baths National Park, protected since 1990, scatters house-sized granite boulders 70 million years old across white sand, forming labyrinths of grottos, tidal pools and sea caves found nowhere else in the eastern Caribbean. The Devil's Bay Trail threads between rocks to a secluded southern cove, while Spring Bay just to the north mixes open sand with smaller scattered boulders. Sea temperatures hold between 27 and 29 °C81 and 84 °F the entire year.
