The original Fort dates back to the 1600s built by the Dutch. It is said the pirate Laffite's gold, jewels and pieces of eight remain buried deep within the fortified 35 foot diameter stone walls. Known as the only recorded tower to remain entirely in tact in the Caribbean. Sixteen pound cannon balls were found on the surrounding grounds.
3. The Baths

4.5 based on 2,820 reviews
The most well-known attraction on the island, these giant boulders or batholiths, brought to the surface by volcanic eruptions, are scattered about forming a beautiful grotto and tranquil pools.

On my family's Star Clipper cruise in December, we indulged in daily beach hopping. My favorite beach by far was The Baths on Virgin Gorda, BVI. I opted to explore the easier trail and strolled down a winding path to a gorgeous, mostly deserted beach studded with huge boulders. The scenery was stunning. After taking photos along the water's edge, I sat at a shady table to write in my journal. During my peaceful morning, I enjoyed the sound of the sea, the warm sunshine and the blissfully serene setting. Up above the beach at the top of the trail, colorful shops and an inviting outdoor restaurant with a swimming pool await visitors who need a break from the sun.

This historic rum distillery is one of the last of its kind in the British Virgin Islands.
Reviewed By ByandBys - Miami, United States
It was the last day they were open for the season, and we were the only two customers there, but it was pretty awesome. If you like history and/or rum this is a gem. Heck even if you hate both of those you should go. We got a tour of the over 200 year old distillery. Got to see the sugarcane, the the distilling process, the barrels. And of course we did a taste testing. I hate rum. This one I loved. Very different and smooth compared to other rums. But I digress. This is definitely worth taking the time to see. And taste.

We were new drivers on the wrong side of the road here, and were hesitatant to take this drive, but found it to be worth every second of our day! We loved the many different views of the stunning beaches and vistas from all across the island! In a heavy rain, this is definitely the road to take to get around rather than the main highway, which gets flooded out easily!
9. The Copper Mine

The Copper Mine is a unique experience. It is at the end of a winding road through neighbourhoods and wild goats roaming freely. As you approach the mine site the stone structures stand out prominently on the shoreline. You can look down into a former shaft area, walk around the remains of the buildings and even see some quartz and copper remnants. A beautiful site to see against the blue waters of the sea in the background.
