description The Baths Overview
Huge granite boulders shape the shoreline at The Baths on southern Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. Weathering and exposure of the granite have produced an arrangement of rocks that forms sheltered pools, narrow passages and cave-like spaces beside sandy beaches. Devil's Bay is part of this coastal setting, where the relationship between the boulders and the water defines the experience. Walking through the rock passages offers a different perspective from viewing the formations from a beach.
Openings between the stones connect shaded spaces with pools and stretches of shoreline, while swimming and snorkeling are established activities in the area. The Baths suits visitors interested in coastal geology as well as beach recreation. Its distinctive feature is the way large rock formations create spaces to move through, making the shoreline more than a conventional strip of sand.
