Virgin Gorda Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Linda Samuel
  • Brush up on BVI trivia: Virgin Gorda's name (literally "fat virgin") refers to the large, lounging woman Christopher Columbus envisioned in the island's topography.
  • Dip into The Baths, a network of pools and grottoes formed by giant boulders spread across the beach and water.
  • Lodge at a private villa, available in varying sizes at a range of prices.
