Every sailor has heard of the British Virgin Islands, home of natural beauty, year-round trade winds, and world-famous beach bars. With easy island hops, line-of-sight navigation and sheltered anchorages the BVI are perfect whether you’re a new sailor or a skilled skipper.
The Baths, a BVI National Park located on the southwest tip of Virgin Gorda, are a must see! And after my exploration, you'll understand why they are known as one of the most incredible experiences of the BVI. The Baths are large clear pools of water in a cave-like atmosphere that were naturally formed by the sea washing over large granite boulders. Light plays on the water in secret rock pools, which are bordered by cool white sand pathways. It's a truly dramatic effect. Exploring by a series of steps, ladders and rope handrails, you'll be rewarded when you reach the picturesque sandy beach at Devil’s Bay.
You can pick up a daytime anchorage off the Baths, but often in the winter months, the ground swell makes it really exposed. Stay in Virgin Gorda and hire a taxi for a tour of the island and to visit The Baths instead.

Hiking Favorites
Without question, the best snorkeling site is at The Indian's. There’s so much to see here, including underwater caves and plenty of tropical fish. The current can be a bit robust though, so use caution if you aren’t a strong swimmer. And if you want to channel your inner adrenaline-junkie, jump off the south corner of Sandy Spit and poke around on the corner of the reef where the odd reef shark sighting isn't uncommon. more
