​

Scrub Island- has a full service marina, spa, & 3 restaurants.  Make reservations for dockage in advanced. Depending on the time of year, can be a little costly, but worth it for a night. The resort has a waterslide and pool, on water trampoline, and fantastic spa.

 

Virgin Gorda- Home of "The Baths," southwest side. The Baths are a granite national wonder, with towering boulders and interlocking wading pools.

There are some great beaches on the west side of Virgin Gorda: Spring Bay (near the Baths), Big Trunk Bay, Little Dix Bay, and Savannah Bay.  

Also 2 great spots to jump off from, when headed to Anegada: The North Sound & Oil Nut Bay.  The North Sound makes up Leverick Bay, Saba Rock, and the Bitter End Yacht Club.

My favorite- Anegada Beach Club has a pool, restaurant, bar, and home to the Tommy Gaunt Kite Surfing School.  You can rent a 4 seater "Moke" in Setting Point, just a dinghy ride from the mooring field, or a SUV is just a short walk.
