First tender ashore, before the crowds and the heat
The Baths is a field of granite boulders, some of them the size of a small house, tumbled along a few hundred metres of the south coast and half submerged in clear water. They are the eroded remains of a volcanic intrusion, which is why they look nothing like the rest of the Caribbean. From the National Parks Trust gate a steep path drops five minutes through cactus and sea grape to the main beach, and from there the boulders form grottoes, pools and shafts of light you can wade and scramble through. Entry is three US dollars for adults and two for children, paid in cash at the gate, and the park runs from nine in the morning until four.
Getting there from the port
Safari bus from the Yacht Harbour rank, ten minutes, then a steep five-minute path down to the sand
