Beaches

The Baths

With its giant boulders that form a series of spectacular pools and grottoes, The Baths is one of the B.V.I.’s favourite attractions. The sandy beach itself is small, and sprinkled with majestic rocks and has some trees for shade. The area, along with Devil’s Bay and Spring Bay, is part of the BVI’s National Parks system, and to help one explore the labyrinthine like grottoes, the National Parks Trust has provided a series of wooden ladders and ropes over some of the boulders. Outside, there is a beach bar and restroom facilities. There is also excellent snorkelling along the area’s nearby underwater boulders and reef.

Devil’s Bay

Another section of The Baths Protected Area, Devil’s Bay is located just west of The Baths. It can be reached by a meandering path from the parking lot at the top of the park. You can also reach it from The Baths, by scrambling along the ladders and pathways within the grottoes. The beach itself is a lovely u-shaped beach fringed with white sand. The snorkelling and swimming are both good.

Spring Bay

This is a beautiful white sand beach, and like the neighbouring Baths, it is sprinkled with giant boulders. It has crystal clear water that makes it ideal for swimming and you can snorkel the sandy bottom and along the underwater boulders. Although part of The Baths Protected Area, it is reached by road. Trunk Bay This is a spectacular beach on Virgin Gorda’s north shore, just east of Spring Bay. The wide sand beach is reachable by boat or along a rough path from Spring Bay. It borders a private estate.

Savannah Bay

This is a sandy beach that is located along a thin neck of land that joins The Valley section of Virgin Gorda to North Sound. It is stunning to look down on from the road and because it is fairly sheltered, is good for both swimming and sunbathing. There’s not much shelter from the sun though, so bring the sun block.

Mahoe Bay

Mahoe Bay beach is a pretty white sand beach at the Mango Bay Resort that has a gently curving stretch of sand and vivid blue water. The beach is lined with guest villas and is good for swimming and sunbathing. There is a restaurant at the far western end of the bay.
