Devil's Bay / The Baths National Park, B.V.I.

Virgin Gorda is a mountainous island 10 miles long by 2 miles wide, with a population of 1400.
A National Park at the sound end of the island protects the Baths and Devil's Bay area. The park beautifully maintains the trail leading down and through the baths as well as other visitor services.
At the top of the trail is a restaurant (Top of the Baths). This unbelievable restaurant offers a breath-taking view down the Sir Francis Drake channel (which was dotted with hundreds of sails), and surprisingly it also has a pool so one can cool off as well as dine. The grounds were a mass of flowering blooms.
We took the trail through the baths along to the powdery sand beach of Devil's Bay where we donned snorkel gear and enjoyed the pretty surroundings, and many fish, underwater as well.
