Virgin Gorda is the second most populated island in the British Virgin Islands and is known for its natural beauty and awe-inspiring topography. The island itself is known by many as the “Fat Virgin” as this what Christopher Columbus used to call it. Supposedly, from a distance the island looks like a woman laying down on her side, showing off her hourglass figure.
The MUST-SEE signature attraction in VG is The Baths. With its fantastic, natural features, The Baths are a labyrinth of volcanic boulders towering over you along the water’s edge. There are various trails through these mysterious caverns and rock pools, and it does make you wonder how these rocks are able to balance so precariously on one another. If you continue to venture through the boulders, you will soon find yourself at “Devils Bay” which is another white, sandy beach to relax on. And for the thrill seekers, there are also a few very high boulders further round to jump off of. Just be careful!
Leverick Bay Resort and Marina is another mini resort in VG that has excellent dining choices, a swimming pool, water sports, and gift shops available. It is harbored in North Sound, which is also known as the “billionaire’s playground”. Check out our Billionaire Playground package if you fancy seeing Mosquito Island & Necker Island (both owned by Richard Brandson), and Eustatia Island (owned by Larry Page , the owner of Google).
Other cool spots that are worth a visit while you are in the North Sound are Oil Nut Bay’s Nova Restaurant and Grill, Saba Rock Resort and Bitter End Yacht Club. All of these restaurants offer fantastic food. Check out our Dinner & Sunset Charter page to learn more about the restaurants we can take you to!
