Beaches:

Remote. Tranquil. Pristine. Beautiful. Private. Secluded. Palm Fringed. The beaches of Virgin Gorda come in all shapes and sizes, and each one is unique. They are not only beautiful, but are almost always uncrowded and very often deserted. Palm-fringed, white sandy beaches, combined with a translucent ocean that teems with marine life and coral reefs, attract boaters and landlubbers alike. Snorkel, sail, sunbathe, or shell at any one of these coves. Even avid surfers will be thrilled by the long north swells that roll lazily in during the winter months on North West shores.

The Baths (Virgin Gorda)

A National Park made up of a series of small sea pools lying beneath a canopy of giant granite boulders. These sheltered light-filled grottoes create a unique setting to swim and explore. Snorkeling along the outside perimeter of both The Baths and Devil's Bay reveals an area rich in colorful fish and coral.

Savannah Bay and Pond  Bay Beaches (Virgin Gorda)

Located to the north of Virgin  Gorda  Yacht  Harbor and with spectacular sunsets, Savannah  Bay is a beautiful long curving stretch of sand perfect for relaxing on the beach, swimming and snorkeling.

Devil's Bay  Beach (Virgin Gorda)

This National Park is accessible by boat or by walking through the trails of The Baths. The beach is pure white sand and sprinkled with large granite boulders. Its deep blue waters make for excellent diving and snorkeling.

Mahoe  Bay  Beach (Virgin Gorda)

Your "private beach" if you decide to become a guest at Adagio Villa. This remote quiet beach with vivid blue water is located north of Savannah  Bay. The bay lies at the end of a tropically landscaped drive leading to a restaurant, beach resorts, and villas. Its gentle sandy curves and two picturesque reefs afford wonderful water activities.

Prickly Pear  National Park (Prickly Pear)

This 243-acre island was declared a National Park in 1988. Located in the North Sound of Virgin Gorda, the cacti-covered hills of Prickly Pear slope down to several pristine beaches. The northern and eastern shores boast two of the territory's best beaches. The North  Beach, in particular, offers great swimming and snorkeling. For hiking enthusiasts, the National Parks Trust and Visions International created a hiking trail which leads from the Sand Box Bar, over a gentle slope, down to the North  Beach.

Vixen Point (Prickly Pear)

Located on Prickly Pear Island in North Sound, Vixen Point is a long stretch of white sand with a beach bar and a shop from which you can rent windsurfers and other water sports equipment. It is a favorite play spot for yachtsmen and guests from neighboring resorts.
