At long
last we made our visit to The Baths.
This incredible place merits its own blog. What a wonderful experience. The Baths are located on the southwest tip of
Virgin Gorda. It is an unusual formation
of large granite boulders. The sea
washes between these boulders creating pools with shafts of light shining down
through the rocks. It really creates a
dramatic effect. There is a trail
guiding you through the boulders and pools.
Sometimes you climb, sometimes you crawl, but around each corner you are
guaranteed another breathtaking view.
Once you make it to the end of the trail you are rewarded with the beach
at Devil’s Bay. This has to be one of
the most beautiful beaches that we have ever seen. White sand, incredibly blue water, palm trees
and, adding something a little different, lots of large boulders. It really is breathtaking. We spent a whole morning there exploring the
path through the boulders and swimming in Devil’s Bay.
The boulders of The Baths
were once embedded in volcanic lava, once the winds and sea wore the lava away
and carved dishes and holes in the harder granite, we were left with the
beautiful natural phenomenon.
I had a hard time editing
photos for this blog post. There were so
many beautiful shot of the boulders and the sea.
