It makes it a perfect place for adventurers and people who are looking for something more than just a beautiful beach. The Baths is a beach area extremely famous among visitors. It is one of the main attractions in the British Virgin Islands. The volcanic boulders that form the tidal pools are about 40 feet long and offer a unique experience for everybody who visits.
