The baths - Virgin Gorda

Image
If you are coming to Virgin Gorda you should visit "The baths". You can even anchor right in front or take a taxi from the marina "Virgin Gorda Yacht harbour". The ride costs 6USD per Cab and is only around 5-10minutes. If you are approaching the moorings of the baths by boat, watch out for the flag on top of the baths. if is yellow, then you can use the moorings, if it is red the moorings are unsafe due to swell. You can not beach a dinghy but there are smaller buoys where you can tie them off and swim the rest. When approaching from the top, it is a 15minutes walk down. It is sand and granite rock and many steps to go down but it is not so hot since major parts are in the shade if you walk down the trail to the bath. If you then cross to Devils bay through the caves and walk up the other way, there it is really hot, so bring some water. This small friend had a huge claw and his shell was much to small. He then just walked away... Often you have to go low or crawl
