Ahhh.... Virgin Gorda. This island is all about beauty and repose,
although having approached it from a number of angles, and indeed
circumnavigated it, we still can't see the Fat Virgin lying on
her back that inspired Columbus' unique nomenclature 500 odd
years ago. Maybe we need to circle out at sea with a poorly-fed
all male crew for six weeks or more, then take another look?
Virgin Gorda is mostly a long, stringy island with the most popular
bits at either end. You've no doubt seen the numerous photos
of people frolicking at The Baths, the enormous jumble of house-sized
boulders and shimmering pools near the south tip. And if you've
seen photos of almost electric blue water with alarming clarity,
chances are good it was shot up in the North Sound or it's little
sister, Eustatia Sound. All are worth a long look, as well as
the many charming spots in between. So take your time, look around,
slow down and enjoy Virgin Gorda. Click on the chart for more
details of some of our favorites...
