The Baths
You can’t miss the natural wonders in The Baths. Referred to as the “Stonehenge of the Caribbean,” this popular tourist destination has incredible sights. Visit The Baths with its national park and excessive granite boulders while you’re on the island – it’s a must!
Volcanic rocks from a million years ago create grottoes in a sequence of small coves where you can swim in the crystal clear pools. Taking a hike through the “Caves” up to Devil’s Bay will allow you to enjoy countless breath-taking views, and will make for a great way to wrap up a “busy” day of exploring and sun-bathing.
Spanish Town
Virgin Gorda is known as a sailor’s paradise. With fleets of moored yachts up and down the coast, this peaceful island is an epicentre for things to see and do.
Spanish Town is famous for Yacht Harbour where parked yachts taxi tourists, allowing you to enjoy the bustling businesses that streak the peaceful island. Exciting activities in this town include snorkelling amidst the forest of coral where abundant arrays of fishes make their home.
North Sound
The North Sound has a little something for everyone, with secluded shorelines that are peppered with quaint towns. You’ll find marinas along this stretch of land, as well as beaches to soak up the sun.
Its natural geography makes North Sound the perfect place for hiking, biking, and daytime walking. This charming setting is full of activities to help make sure you won’t have one moment to be bored – or even think about what to do next. When you’re here, you simply know.
Bitter End Yacht Club
For a more adventurous stay in the Caribbean, try the Bitter End Yacht Club – the spot where a wealth of unique activities awaits. From sailing the clear waters during the day, to snorkeling among the coral reefs, there is something here for every member of the family to enjoy.
Have a go at the exhilarating sport of kiteboarding. Akin to windsurfing, kiteboarding will turn the serene backdrop of the gorgeous Caribbean setting into an exciting adventure. Take in the sites amongst the pristine emerald outlooks and enjoy the soft beaches. Watch an exciting sunset regatta, or try your hand at water sports.
