What to do and see in Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands: The Best Outdoor Activities

April 30, 2022 Enriqueta Cusson

Life is just a little bit slower on Virgin Gorda, so named because this British Virgin Island resembles a large reclining woman. The laid-back pace of the island is the perfect excuse to take your time, whether you’re wading along the granite grottoes of The Baths, doing some casual snorkeling in Devil’s Bay, or exploring the stone ruins of a 19th century Copper Mine. Hanging out in the hammock at Mad Dog while you sip a Painkiller is the ultimate in Virgin Gorda relaxation.

Spring Bay

This magnificent Virgin Gorda beach, which is adjacent to The Baths, is a great place for snorkeling.

Reviewed By wheresgigi - New Haven, United States

Spring Bay is steps over from the Baths, and is like a little mini Baths. The Baths can get pretty crowded, so if you're looking for the experience of the sheltered coves among the big boulders without the crowds, stop here. There's a picnic table and palm trees...and the whole beach to yourself.

Savannah Bay

Virgin Gorda's loveliest beach is a long strand of powdery white coastline lapped by placid waters.

Reviewed By Eddie1219 - Marlow, United Kingdom

Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands – Savannah Beach While our cruise ship docked at Spanish Town we decided to take a taxi to Savannah Beach, which was a short drive away. Taxis charge $5 per person for the trip – you will need to rebook the taxi for the return. Savannah Beach has no facilities save a couple of wooden shelters with integral bench seating so if you want a bar or café, this destination is not for you. We found the almost deserted beach to be the perfect place for a short excursion. The bay is unspoilt, for the greater part surrounded by wooded hills. In the sea there was a sand bar 40 metres out making swimming very safe, even in the lively swell we encountered that morning. A fabulous few hours ashore.
