The Baths are a natural attraction consisting of massive boulders rising from the ocean, which form a sort of maze that you can wade or swim through—the path ends at Devil’s Bay, a beach clearing with shallow waters. They are considered a must-see attraction on Virgin Gorda and are a popular excursion from other islands in the BVI.

Summer is typically the best time to visit the Baths. Travelers suggest visiting on a weekday, right when the park opens at 8am, to avoid cruise ship crowds. In the winter, strong ocean swells can occur, preventing the use of the mooring buoys and access to the beach from the sea. Swimming is also discouraged during these periods due to strong currents.

Travelers can take a ferry from Tortola or St. Thomas to Virgin Gorda, and then take a taxi to the Baths. A series of steps and rope handrails guide visitors along a trail through the boulders to Devil’s Bay. You can also book a guided tour or private charter to access the Baths from other islands.

Yes, the Baths in Virgin Gorda are suitable for families with children—you’ll find safe, shallow water grottos, caves, and a wide sandy beach at Devil's Bay. Some travelers recommend only bringing kids over the age of 5, however, as you can’t use strollers along the trail.
