Caribbean Snapshots: Devil’s Bay, Virgin Gorda

Hidden paths bring you to the most beautiful beach on the island

 

Devil’s Bay is the quieter side of Virgin Gorda’s famous Baths. Most visitors to this scenic wonder arrive at Spring Bay, which is located just north of the giant beachside boulder field that is the site’s signature feature. Spring Bay offers restrooms, cool drinks and local vendors offering everything from handicrafts to hair braiding.

Finding the relative solitude of Devil’s Bay, which sits south of the boulders, will require either a ten-minute walk from the hillside parking lot or an energetic scramble over, under and through the massive rock formations. The reward is a magnificent, secluded beach that has been called one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean, plus a sheltered cove perfect for swimming or snorkeling.
