Saint Thomas Bay

✨ Hidden gem

Saint Thomas Bay sits on the eastern side of Virgin Gorda near Spanish Town, giving you a calm, sheltered spot to drop the hook with easy access to the island's main settlement. From the anchorage you're just a short dinghy ride from the Yacht Harbour area, where you'll find provisioning, restaurants, and the ferry dock. The bay has a relaxed, unhurried feel compared to busier anchorages on the island, and with The Baths just a quick sail or dinghy trip to the south, it's a smart base for exploring Virgin Gorda's highlights.
