Fallen Jerusalem Description

All of uninhabited Fallen Jerusalem (30ac/12ha) has been designated as a national park. Lying just 0.5mi/0.80km southwest of Virgin Gorda, Fallen Jerusalem makes for a good day trip for those looking to escape the crowds. Fallen Jerusalem is named for the large granite boulders scattered around the island that seem to be ruins of an ancient city, resembling building foundations and clearly defined roads.

The north side of the island offers boat moorings, and there are a few beaches to choose from for swimming and sunbathing. If calm weather permits, the fringe of the island presents good snorkelling opportunities. Birds such as boobies, terns, pelicans, noddies and gulls nest and can be spotted on Fallen Jerusalem.
