I have tried to explain the baths to people, but always come up short. I need to get back to the Caribbean again soon!

Years ago I visited Virgin Gorda and 6 years ago built a villa at South Sound on Virgin Gorda. Really love it there.

1973 by goddesswave

I spent a week in Virgin Gourda as a young mum in 1973. The beaches were sugar fine white coral sand, the water was crystal blue. My two year old daughter loved it! We swam in the “Baths”, underground caves created by huge boulders down near the beach. Very fond memories!
