    The Baths are at the south end of Virgin Gorda BVI and provide an insight into a wonderful geological world. It is a world of boulders that extend into the sea. From what I read, these boulders (granite) were embedded within huge lava flows and over time the softer lava has all eroded away. This has left the mass of boulders precariously resting on each other and has created numerous tunnels to explore both underwater and around the shore. Since I was there 30 years ago, the Parks people have mapped out a terrific route to follow that takes you from one bay to the next and involves water, rope climbs, and ladders. Because of the conditions, decided just to go with the compact; but hope you enjoy them.
