What an amazing natural phenomenon!
The Baths are one of the coolest places to visit in Virgin Gorda, where giant granite boulders line the beach creating tidal pools, tunnels, arches, and grottoes. You can spend hours hiking around the Baths, and in fact we did. We decided to sail over to the southern end of Virgin Gorda to spend the day there- it was so much fun! The natural beauty created by this unique geologic formation is astounding, all set on a white beach with the sparkling blue of the Caribbean Ocean as the background. Wow! The giant boulders that make up the Baths are piled on top of each other like a house of cards, creating lots of opportunities for exploring and spelunking. So many nooks and crannies to discover. We wore our swim suits and spent the day romping around, hiking thru the grottoes to find hidden tidal pools and secret caves. What an amazing day!

Baths - you were there
Jenn, One thing I remember about the baths is the use of or remote control camera while we were cruising on the Big Kahuna. Do you remember how many photos we took because we didn't know if the camera was working? What a riot - some of the photos show me with a stern look pointing the remote at the camera. Not a keeper. Glad you guys are having fun. Love, Dad
