Devils Bay, Virgin Gorda

On the Caribbean island of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands there is an area near Spanish Town called The Baths, a collection of massive granite boulders as large as 12 metres in diameter, with nearby white sand beaches.

A 15-minute hike from the top of The Baths brings you to the picturesque Devil’s Bay, at Virgin Gorda’s south-western tip. Here there are natural tidal pools, arches, grottos and tunnels formed by the granite boulders.

Swimming, snorkelling, and clambering through the boulders are popular pastimes at The Baths, but the pathways can be treacherous and you have to be careful not to slip as you’re sometimes in calf-deep water.

I was proud of the fact that I did this all on my own, although I did encounter a few other hardy souls along the way.
