Virgin Islands Getaway

If you haven't been to the Virgin Islands, my only advice will be this....GO, GO NOW! These islands are amazing and re-defined tropical paradise to both Oneea and I. I'm not sure how I missed them for 35 years of existence, but now that I've spent some time there, I know that we will certainly be returning...only this time, we'll bring friends and family to share in our new favorite spots. These photos were taken over a 2 week period in Jan 2011. We spent time in St John (US territory), Virgin Gorda and Anegada (British territories). We also got out on the water a few times to see some of the other smaller cays, snorkel spots, and beach bars. We had a great trip, met some really great people, and feel like we barely scratched the surface on everything the US and British Virgin Islands have to offer....next visit can't come soon enough.

    The Baths at sunset, Virgin Gorda
    Seeing pictures of the "Baths" in various magazines and books is what drew me to the Virgin Islands. This is an incredibly unique area and one of the most interesting beaches we've ever visited. Huge granite boulders are spread across several miles of pristine, white sand beaches....the boulders create caves with "baths" that you can call your own for the day. 

We stayed right near the Baths National Park, and made the short hike down to the beach every day we were in Virgin Gorda. This particular beach tends to get crowded during the day, but is empty for sunrise and sunset. Amazing to me that such a stunning place could be so empty during the best light! 

I had to work for this picture...hiking "off piste" to get to this spot. It's a unique vantage point of the Baths...I haven't been able to find any other photos online similar to it. For that reason, it's one of my favorites from the trip. This is an incredible spot to say the least, and something that will hopefully remain protected by the National Park Trust for years to come.
    Spring Bay, Virgin Gorda. If you want a stunning, near empty beach, go here....just a short distance from the Baths.
