"The Baths" To get there and back, you have to swim. The boat docks and we jump out and take a swim to get onto Virgin Gorda Island. A tiny little hike through rocks and caves. The boat picks us up at the other end. We take time to enjoy the amazing water and take turns jumping off the boat. As we leave, we see giant skull faces in the rocks.... read more
