The baths

The Baths and Devils bay are two national parks side by side with a trail leading from one to the other. After arriving at the car park or drop-off/pickup area you will have to make a 15-minute walk through dry scrub vegetation and granite boulders to either the baths or devils bay. It does not matter which one you choose to go to first because hikers can cross over to the other park by crawling, climbing ladders and wade through waters. Caution must always be used to avoid slipping and falling.

CopperMine

This Prominent landmark located at Mine Hill sits on a cliff on the south-eastern part of Virgin Gorda. An abandoned copper mine was once the center of attention on the island of Virgin Gorda. The Spaniards who of course were from Spain, mined copper here in the early 18th century. However Cornish miners built the ruins that remain today in the 1800s, following a decline in mineral deposit in Cornwall, England. The mine closed in 1862 due to escalating expenses and low market prices.

BVIVACTION.COM rates this beach very high because of how clear the view is to the bottom and the gentle underwater slope. Most times in the late afternoon you can find yourself alone on this beach.
