The british virgin islands: ideal for a sailing holiday

When you think of the ideal sunshine break destination, images of white sand beaches, empty skies and clear water immediately spring to mind. And if you book luxury travel breaks to the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, you can be sure of finding all of these elements, with plenty more besides.

The Baths Day Trip
During our stay, we took advantage of one of Bitter End’s day trips to the famous Baths. The Bitter End Yacht Club’s Paranda was our transportation for a scenic sail across North Sound. Because of unusually high seas the day we went, our catamaran sailed from the Bitter End to Spanish Town, where we took a short taxi ride to the top of the Baths. It turned out that this detour was actually a blessing, as we were able to see more local scenery!
Walking down the path to the beach at the Baths.
Once at the top of the Baths, we walked down a path to the beach. We had to be mindful of the rocks and slippery sand on the path, so be advised to wear proper shoes for the journey.

No one could tell us exactly how these giant boulders got to the BVI. Some say they may have been tossed on the shore by a tidal wave eons ago. No matter how they arrived, the sight is something not to be missed when visiting the BVI.
Sailing away on Parandah
Once back aboard the Paranda, we were served a generous box-lunch. Sodas and water were also provided.

For a first time visitor to the British Virgin Islands, I think this day trip covered a lot of sights in just one day. It’s a day I won’t soon forget.
