Virgin Gorda Top 5

Virgin Gorda Top 5

Beautiful Beaches: Virgin Gorda's stunning white sandy beaches are the number one reason to visit. While you can join the crowds at the Baths, it's easy to find your own place in the sun at any one of the island's stretches of sand.

The Baths: The ever-popular Baths, an area strewn with giant boulders—many are as big as houses—draws hordes of visitors. Go early or late to enjoy the solitude that comes from splashing or snorkeling among the rocks

Vacation Villas: Virgin Gorda villas come in all sizes and price ranges. Some are so spectacular they grace the pages of glossy magazines. These get top dollar, of course. Others are more modest, with prices that are comparable to what you'd pay for a hotel room.

North Sound: Even if you aren't a guest at one of North Sound's handful of resorts, you still should visit. Ferries depart frequently for the short trip along the island's beautiful coastline. Stay for lunch, or just enjoy an afternoon drink.

Solitude: You don't go to Virgin Gorda for the nightlife (although there is some here and there) or endless activities (but you might want to rent a kayak). Instead, go to relax on your terrace as you watch the sun slip below the horizon.
