This island is the perfect getaway for those who dream of lounging on a nearly deserted tropical island. Over 20 secluded beaches and mountainous, preserved areas are the main attractions on this tiny island, providing a relaxing break from the hustle of everyday life. Virgin Gorda is only t10 miles long and 2 miles wide, but it's packed with scores of beautiful beaches and breathtaking landscapes. A generally dry climate allows a great amount of sun perfect for beach bumming. It also creates an interesting landscape dotted with cacti throughout the many National Parks.

The magic of the island extends far beyond its coastlines into the surrounding waters. Soft sandy beaches and natural swimming pools make the transition from land to sea an appealing treat for the eye. There is no coastline better suited for snorkeling and the area known as "The Baths," or "God's Marbles," makes exploration of the shallow waters even more interesting. Certain beaches are spotted with giant, pink granite, spherical boulders creating caves and climbing opportunities. Inland is as much of a treat as the coast, with pastures complemented with cacti and many goats to keep it all trim. The sunsets from anywhere on the island melt hearts and thrill the eyes, making the perfect finale to a day in paradise.
