Secluded anchorages like The Baths on Virgin Gorda, where enormous stones provide a bizarre maze to explore, attract sailors looking for a peaceful retreat.



Anegada, a flat coral island known for its pink flamingos and rich marine life, is a magnetic draw for nature enthusiasts. The waters of the British Virgin Islands are a snorkeler's and diver's dream, full of colorful coral gardens and sunken ships.
