About this place

Added by Scotti Shafer

From the caves to the white sand beaches and crystal clear water this awe-inspiring natural landscape is one of my favorite spots to explore in the Virgin Islands. Certainly a must see.

Located on the Southeast tip of Virgin Gorda, The Baths are a collection of massive granite boulders (the largest being 40 feet in diameter), which form natural tidal pools, tunnels, arches, and scenic grottoes that are open to the sea. There is a marked trail (a series of steps and rope handrails) through the caves that guides visitors from the beach at The Baths to Devil's Bay. For the more adventurous, I recommend getting off the path and exploring the caves and boulders on your own. There are plenty of nooks and crannies to crawl or swim through as well as some boulders to jump off and hidden rock pools to soak in along the shore.

If you are sailing, this is a great spot to anchor for the day (that's what we did) but you can also access The Baths by car if you're staying on the island.
