At the southwestern tip of Virgin Gorda is the picturesque Devil’s Bay. This horseshoe shaped bay is a welcome sight at the end of the 15-minute hike through dry scrub vegetation and boulders from the car park at the top of The Baths. A second trail at the eastern end leads visitors to The Baths, through massive granite boulders, where hikers should be prepared to crawl, climb ladders and wade through water. Caution must be used at all times to avoid slipping or falling.

​

A tranquil location for swimming and snorkeling, or just relaxing under the shade umbrellas, Devil’s Bay is one of Virgin Gorda’s most beautiful beaches. At the southern end of the beach is a trail to Stoney Bay, where the Atlantic swells pummel the coastline and seabirds soar overhead.

There is a one way system in place on the trail due to high visitor numbers at The Baths and Devil's Bay National Parks. This requires park visitors arriving from the parking lot at the top to walk to Devil's Bay first, spend some time at the beautiful Devil's Bay beach and then proceed through the boulders to The Baths beach and then hike back up to the parking lot. If arriving from the sea, visitors should be dropped off at the swim line at Devil's Bay, swim to shore, enjoy the beach and then walk through the boulders to The Baths beach, swim back out to the swim line and be picked up by dinghy to return to your vessel.

​

​The dinghy dock line offshore provides facilities for small vessels, whilst mooring buoys protect the reef from anchor damage. A swim line separates the swimming area from the mooring field and dinghies are not permitted to access the beach. There are swim line safety ropes to guide swimmers to shore but this is a physically challenging activity and not suited to everyone.

There is a safety flag system in place, with a red flag prohibiting mooring buoy use and swimming due to rough seas or strong currents. A purple flag indicates marine life, such as jellyfish in the water.

​Strong ocean swells can occur in the winter months, preventing use of the mooring buoys and access to the beach from the sea. Swimming is not permitted during these periods, due to the strong currents. 

Jumping off the rocks and rock climbing is strictly prohibited.
