This is my 2nd trip to the Baths, and it was just as good the 2nd time. We rented a boat with a capt from Scrub Island and he brought us in to the beach. We snorkeled in from the boat and then started our trek though and around and over and under and so on. This is an adventure.... More

Don't miss this - you'll have to do some climbing and your shoes will get wet, but the strange and beautiful rock formations are worth it. More

We were staying on Virgin Gorda so we were able to enjoy The Baths when it wasn't crowded. Great snorkeling and beautiful water. Beware when the tourists come over on the ferry from other islands -- then there can be hundreds of people there. We enjoyed The Baths when it was not crowded. Don't miss the trail through the boulders... More

Go EARLY before everyone else gets there and you will feel like you have found a Shangri-la of sorts. It is paradise until others show up in swarms. They are dropped off by boat tours below and by bus tours up top. I suggest daybreak until 9:45 AM, otherwise you will be on a slow paced trek behind others on... More

It was worth the trip to see the caves and such hiking around, but the swimming was not as good as other areas. More

The large boulders are great but the Curved beach on The Bath side is so beautiful and climb throught the cave and wading through the crevices of the boulders is fun, sometimes challenging(don't raise up too soon) and great for photos with the sunlight shining through. Going back at end of May More

Sailed in from St. Martin. It was a 14 hour night sail as we couldn't get there at night. The dignys are not allowed at the beach - there is a like a digny parking just before. When you snorkle in - the waves drag you out on the beach and sucks you right back in. It's really strong. There... More

The main attraction here is the massive piled up boulders that you walk through in, around and over. After you pass all the way to the end, there is a very nice small beach where you can snorkel around. It's interesting to see - we saw a group of squid, quite a few fish, etc - but no coral reef...
