Crowds at the Baths depend upon time of year and cruise ships. We go to VG in May and there are no cruise ships, so we go to the Baths at anytime. Except, we go to the Baths by going halfway down the Devil's Bay trail, turn left at the Stony Bay trail and check out the three stony bays and hike over to Devil's Bay from Stony Bay. There is a trail. Then we snorkel Devil's Bay then hike to the Baths and go through "backwards." Then up the main trail to Top of the Bath's and over to Mad Dog's and visit with Edith. At Guavaberry you have a very short walk to Spring Bay, then go over to the Crawl, then take the path to Little Trunk and Valley Trunk beach'es. With a car you can hit Savannah Bay, but not on a Sunday, that's local's BBQ party day and crowded. Mahoe is always on our list. Great reef and fish and turtle's there. Drive on the road to Nail Bay Resort, park there and hike down the Mt. Trunk beach road, about 100 yards, and enjoy. Great snorkeling off to the right with lots of reef and lots of fish of all kind. Then, continue on the road from Nail Bay resort and as you cross a drainage ditch, turn left on the dirt road and you will come out at Long Bay. Great beach and an unrestored rum distillery. Then go on up to Hog Heaven and enjoy the food and the views. If you are curious about where stuff is like grocery stores or restaurants and roads, etc. Guavaberry Spring Bay's web page has a printable two page map. I think it is in the "getting here" folder near the bottom, so scroll down or search around and you can see where everything is. Oh, Guavaberry has a deal with a rental company for discounts. And, they have snorkel gear for kids, life vests, etc. Is it May yet? I've got a severe case of DIF now... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
