Nature’s Baths in BVI

By Linda Tancs

If you’re not necessarily the beach going type, there’s still good reason to visit Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands.  A top attraction are The Baths, a series of boulders forming pools and grottos that attract as many shutterbugs as sun bathers.   At the entrance to The Baths you can shop for clothing and tropical trinkets like shipwreck coins and mahogany and hibiscus wood carvings.  You can whet your palate there as well and enjoy the panoramic views from Top of the Baths restaurant.  Another earthy delight is Gorda Peak, the highest point on the island.  You’ll find hiking trails there, offering magnificent views of North Sound.  The area is also home to the world’s smallest lizard, the Virgin Gorda gecko, and one of the Caribbean’s last remaining dry forests.
