About the Port
Spanish Town serves as the gateway to Virgin Gorda, an island whose reclining silhouette gave it its name and whose unhurried pace defines the visit. The main draw lies at The Baths, a striking arrangement of house-sized granite boulders that form shaded pools, tidal grottoes, and narrow passageways along the southern shore, best explored on foot with time to swim in the calm, clear water. Offshore, the Bank Barrier reef supports a rich underwater landscape worth a look for snorkelers.
Nearby, the uninhabited Prickly Pear Island offers a quieter stretch of beach and a modest bar for those wanting simple relaxation away from the crowds. The pier sits a short distance from the island's low-key village center, making it easy to combine a morning at The Baths with an afternoon of casual beachgoing before returning to the ship.
Pavlus Recommendations
How our planners would spend a day in Spanish Town.
Hike the Devil's Bay Trail
A rugged path winds through boulder tunnels and ladders from The Baths to a secluded beach at Devil's Bay, taking about 20-30 minutes each way. Wear water shoes and sunscreen for the exposed granite scramble.
Snorkel the Bank Barrier Reef
Rent gear near The Baths to glide over the offshore reef, where colorful fish and coral formations sit just beneath the surface. Calm, clear water makes it approachable even for casual swimmers.
Catch a Water Taxi to Prickly Pear
A short boat ride from the village puts you on this uninhabited island's quiet sand, ideal for a swim or a drink at the modest beach bar away from the main crowds.
