The Baths - Virgin Gorda, B.V.I.

Awesome natural beauty - Located at the south end of Virgin Gorda is an area where gigantic rocks and boulders shaped by volcanic pressures millions of years ago, have created a bather's paradise.
The boulders form delightful hidden rooms, lit by shafts of light, magnificent coral ledges and caves with intricate passageways leading throughout.
Our hearts jumped each time we heard the crashing of the sea on the boulders outside and then felt the water gushing through the crevices into the caverns.
The Park's department maintains stairs and ropes to assist in climbing along the trail through the boulders.
We visited 2 days in a row; both calm sea conditions; but we were in awe to imagine what a sight the baths must be when conditions are rough - certainly the indentations and holes etched in the boulders are evidence of the power of the sea in the past.
