Virgin Gorda – white, sandy beaches and quaint towns
From snorkeling to sailing, vacations on Virgin Gorda often involve lots of time in the clear blue waters, and there are plenty of white sandy beaches where you can relax afterwards. A relatively undeveloped island compared to its neighbors, there are a few Virgin Gorda vacation rentals, allowing you to discover the quieter beaches. Visit Spanish Town, a small town which has some great Caribbean restaurants, with freshly caught seafood. There are ferries that take you to the surrounding uninhabited islands, which makes for a fun day trip, or you can take a scuba tour and explore the coral reefs.
Explore the copper mine ruins at Virgin Gorda
Climb the winding trails through Gorda Peak National Park and you'll see the ruins of the old copper mine, dating back to the 19th century. The stone remains of the old chimney stack and engine house are visible, and, as you explore the ruins, you also enjoy views across the island and out to sea. Stay in Virgin Gorda vacation rentals close to the park and you can take your time exploring the hilly forest trails, perhaps spotting a native Virgin Gorda gecko, which is about the size of a dime.
Visit The Baths and other beaches on Virgin Gorda
Virgin Gorda is surrounded by beautiful beaches, and The Baths are perhaps the best known. Huge boulders have formed a network of caves and grottos that you can swim and paddle through, enjoying the warm seas. Avoid visiting when the cruise ships are in dock, as the white-sand beach can get crowded, and consider bringing a snorkel to spot the exotic fish just under the surface. For a quieter experience, take a boat to Prickly Pear, an uninhabited island with white sands and clear, shallow seas.
Warm, tropical weather on Virgin Gorda
Virgin Gorda doesn't have big variations in temperature. In the winter, the weather hovers at the high-70s, while in the summer months it usually hits the mid-80s, so you're almost guaranteed warm weather all year-round. The winter months from December to April tend to be the busiest time to book Virgin Gorda vacation rentals, as the humidity is lower and there's less chance of rain. However, some travelers prefer the summer months, when the island is quieter and there are fewer winds. May to December can also mean rain showers, and you should look out for hurricane reports.
White sand beaches and volcanic landscapes in Virgin Gorda
Carved by volcanoes, Virgin Gorda has a rocky landscape, most of which is covered in lush green forest. The island isn't as developed as some of its Caribbean neighbors, so there's plenty of unspoiled land to explore. There's also a collection of smaller islands, such as Peter Island, that are just a short ferry ride away, with a 3-mile hike known as the sunset loop which takes you to the summit, giving sweeping views across Virgin Gorda. However, it's the beaches that are the main attraction, with white sands and clear turquoise sea, making Virgin Gorda an island paradise.
