Caribbean Sea. British Virgin Island. Virgin Gorda |

|
|
| With a population of about 2,500 is a favorite stop-over for both yachtsmen and landlubbers. It is linked to the other islands by a small airport and regular ferry services. The northern half of the island is mountainous with a good-sized peak of 1,370 feet, while the southern half is flat and scattered with giant boulders. The B.V.I.'s most famous natural attraction, The Baths - giant boulders forming a series of spectacular pools and grottoes - is located here. There are some 20 beaches on Virgin Gorda, including the beautiful Devil's Bay (a national Park), Spring Bay and Trunk Bay. There is also the abandoned Copper Mine on the southeast tip of the island where a boiler stack and other 19th century stone buildings can still be observed. | |||
