The Baths National Park Description
The Virgin Gorda Baths are a busy anchorage and one of the British Virgin Island's most famous landmarks. The area is littered with randomly placed giant granite boulders, creating sea pools and grottoes that are perfect for snorkelling and exploring. The boulders can reach 40ft/12m in diameter and their origins are unknown, however it is speculated that they are probably the result of weathering of softer rock, leaving pockets of very hard granite exposed. At one point, the boulders form a sand-bottomed cave that is one of the most photographed areas in the British Virgin Islands. The area was declared a national park in 1990, and measures are being taken to protect The Baths from overuse and crowding.
