The third largest of the British Virgin Islands, Virgin Gorda was so named by Christopher Columbus, after the discoverer felt that the island looked like a fat woman lying on her side. Despite its “second discovery” in the 1960s as a tourist destination, the island is still not over-commercialised.
At the end of Spanish Town is Virgin Gorda’s most famous beach, the Baths. This is an unusual geologic formation, with plenty of hidden caves and pools nestled amongst the huge granite boulders. The British Virgin Islands are among one of the most beautiful seaside destinations in the world. Check out our list of 10 top comfortable and scenic Vrbo vacation rentals to book.
