Virgin Gorda

British Virgin Islands

Virgin Gorda is the third-largest of the British Virgin Islands, in the Caribbean. Its name means the fat virgin — Columbus's joke about its shape — and it holds the BVIs' most famous natural wonder. Attractions include The Baths — giant granite boulders forming grottos and pools on the beach — Devil's Bay, the Copper Mine ruins on the southeast point, the North Sound's anchorages and islands, Savannah Bay, and the laid-back sailing culture of the islands.
