SeaDream I Cruise of the Eastern Caribbean

By Linda Garrison, About.com Guide

Virgin Gorda is one of 60 islands in the British Virgin Islands of the Caribbean. Virgin Gorda doesn't have a lot of activities, but it has a diverse landscape and beautiful beaches. Small cruise ships can anchor at Virgin Gorda, while larger ships include a visit to Virgin Gorda as a shore excursion from nearby Tortola. It's one of my favorite places in the Caribbean.

A visit to The Baths, a group of very large, unusual rock boulders on the western edge of the island, is a Virgin Gorda highlight. The tenders from the SeaDream I ferried us ashore at Spanish Town, where we boarded open air buses for the short drive to The Baths. The hike to the beach from the drop off point was relatively easy. After a few minutes at the main beach, most of us followed the guide for the 15-minute walking trip amongst the boulders to Devil's Bay, a secluded beach at the southern end of The Baths. It's worth stooping under overhanging rocks and wading in ankle-deep water to see this interesting bay and go swimming in the sparkling water.
