The most popular tourist destination in the BVI, this stunning maze of huge granite boulders extending into the sea is usually crowded midday with day-trippers, especially when cruise ships are in port (come early in the morning or toward evening for more solitude). The snorkeling is good, and you're likely to see a wide variety of fish. Public bathrooms and a handful of bars and shops are close to the water and at the start of the path that leads to the beach. Divers also come to The Baths from charter boats anchored just offshore; use the swim line to get to shore, since boats no longer launch dinghies to transport guests back and forth. Lockers are available to keep belongings safe. Amenities: food and drink; parking; toilets. Best for: snorkeling; swimming.

At Virgin Gorda's most celebrated sight, giant boulders are scattered about the beach and in the water. Some are almost as large as houses and form remarkable grottoes. Climb between these rocks to swim in the many placid pools. Snorkelers and divers will find even more tumbled boulders below the surface. Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to visit if you want to avoid crowds. If it's privacy you crave, follow the shore northward to quieter bays—Spring Bay, the Crawl, Little Trunk, and Valley Trunk—or head south to Devil's Bay.

A tall stone shaft silhouetted against the sky, a small stone structure that overlooks the sea, and a deep cistern are part of what was once a copper mine, now in ruins. Established 400 years ago, it was worked first by the Spanish, then by the English until the early 20th century. There's not too much in the way of interpretive signs at the site, but the location is beautiful.

There are two trails at this 260-acre park, which contains the island's highest point, at 1,359 feet. Signs on North Sound Road mark both entrances. It's a short but steep 30- to 50-minute hike (depending on which trail you take) through a rare Caribbean dry forest to a small clearing, where you can enjoy some high-level views.

This is a wonderfully private beach close to Spanish Town. It may not always be completely deserted, but you can find a spot to yourself on this long stretch of soft white sand in front of the tall dunes. Bring your own mask, fins, and snorkel, as there are no facilities. Nearby villas are available through rental property agencies. The view from atop the dunes is a photographer's delight. Amenities: none. Best for: solitude; snorkeling; swimming.

Virgin Gorda's peaceful main settlement, on the island's southern wing, is so tiny that it barely qualifies as a town at all. In the part of the island known as “The Valley,” Spanish Town has a marina, some shops, a few restaurants and bars, and a couple of car-rental agencies. Just north of town is the ferry terminal.
