| Page Views: 731 Last Visit to Virgin Gorda: February, 1997 | The Fat Virgin by grandmaR - last update: Jun 28, 2006 |
I was told that Virgin Gorda, or "Fat Virgin", was named by Columbus. I can see how he would get the Fat part of it, but how did he know that she was a Virgin? Virgin Gorda is notable for two luxury hotels (Little Dix Bay and Bitter End Yacht Club) and The Baths which is a collection of LARGE boulders. Near The Baths is Devils Bay National Park, which the Rockefellers gave to the BVI in the 1960s. |
The BVI in general is also known for water sports, particularly sailing, snorkeling and scuba diving. |

Boy are you ever right about going early to the Baths to avoid the crush of cruiseship tourists! But it's a beautiful park, isn't it? Nice photos...Wendy |
