Top 7 Free Things to do in Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands
Life is just a little bit slower on Virgin Gorda, so named because this British Virgin Island resembles a large reclining woman. The laid-back pace of the island is the perfect excuse to take your time, whether you’re wading along the granite grottoes of The Baths, doing some casual snorkeling in Devil’s Bay, or exploring the stone ruins of a 19th century Copper Mine. Hanging out in the hammock at Mad Dog while you sip a Painkiller is the ultimate in Virgin Gorda relaxation.

This magnificent Virgin Gorda beach, which is adjacent to The Baths, is a great place for snorkeling.

Spring Bay is steps over from the Baths, and is like a little mini Baths. The Baths can get pretty crowded, so if you're looking for the experience of the sheltered coves among the big boulders without the crowds, stop here. There's a picnic table and palm trees...and the whole beach to yourself.

Virgin Gorda's loveliest beach is a long strand of powdery white coastline lapped by placid waters.

Spanish Town, British Virgin Islands – Savannah Beach While our cruise ship docked at Spanish Town we decided to take a taxi to Savannah Beach, which was a short drive away. Taxis charge $5 per person for the trip – you will need to rebook the taxi for the return. Savannah Beach has no facilities save a couple of wooden shelters with integral bench seating so if you want a bar or café, this destination is not for you. We found the almost deserted beach to be the perfect place for a short excursion. The bay is unspoilt, for the greater part surrounded by wooded hills. In the sea there was a sand bar 40 metres out making swimming very safe, even in the lively swell we encountered that morning. A fabulous few hours ashore.

Pricly Pear Island offers such wonderful stretches of beach in shallow waters to allow you to playfully rest and relax with family and friends in the warm waters between Pricly Pear and Virgin Gorda.

7. 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.
