remarkable natural beauty. Premier attractions include;
Beaches- less than
1.5 miles away from Olde Yard Village
The Baths - A
National Park made up of a series of small sea pools lying beneath a
canopy of giant granite boulders. These sheltered light-filled
grottoes create a unique setting to swim and explore. Snorkeling
along the outside perimeter of both The Baths and Devil's Bay
reveals an area rich in colorful fish and coral.
Devils' Bay-This
National Park is accessible by boat or by walking through the trails
of The Baths. The beach is pure white sand and sprinkled with large
granite boulders. Its deep blue waters make for excellent diving and
snorkeling.
Spring Bay-
Sprinkled with boulders, this stretch of white sand is one of Virgin
Gorda's loveliest and features some of The BVI's clearest waters.
Trunk Bay- Trunk
Bay is one of a series of spectacular white sand beaches that line
Virgin Gorda's western shore. Bordered by a private estate and a
palm grove.
Savannah Bay-
Located to the north of Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour and with
spectacular sunsets, Savannah Bay is a beautiful long curving
stretch of sand perfect for relaxing on the beach and swimming.

and continuing up to the island's highest point of 1,370 feet. The
area, which contains a wide variety of indigenous and exotic plants,
has been extensively reforested with mahogany trees. An observation
tower at the top offers spectacular views of some of the surrounding
islands.
Little Fort
National Park-Little Fort National Park can be found just south of
