Virgin Gorda National Parks
Among all the vacation homes and private beaches, there are actually several National Parks in Virgin Gorda. Filled with lush, tropical landscapes and historic sites, these parks are available to the public for hiking, sightseeing, and adventures.
The Baths National Park: Encompassing the beaches and rocky shoreline at the southwestern tip of Virgin Gorda, The Baths is a collection of massive granite boulders as large as 40 foot in diameter, with white sand beaches and secret rock pools.
Copper Mine National Park: This prominent landmark dominates Mine Hill, on the cliffs of the southeastern tip of Virgin Gorda.
Devil’s Bay National Park: At the southwestern tip of Virgin Gorda, this horseshoe shaped bay is a welcome sight at the end of the 15-minute hike through dry scrub vegetation and boulders.
Little Fort National Park: Between Spanish Town and Big Trunk Bay, Little Fort includes a small fortification and masonry ruins, including a munitions store on the hillside. Access is difficult at this undeveloped site, as hikers must cross the rugged terrain and dense vegetation.
Spring Bay National Park: Spring Bay is east of The Baths in an area known as The Crawl. Popular with visitors and residents, Spring Bay can be accessed from land along a palm-lined avenue.
Gorda Peak National Park: The highest point on Virgin Gorda at 1,370ft; Gorda Peak is located on the northwestern ridge, south of North Sound and north of Soldier Bay. If you’re up for a little hike, the view from Gorda Peak offers some of the best on the island.
