We are also here now and spent a few days on Spring . If the swells are down there is a bit of snorkelling in the crawl area but be careful of surge around the boulders. I am a scaredy cat swimmer tho . Have fun

thanks yes I see a road that I cut off just above the top one, we will look for sign. Is there any snorkeling at Spring Bay? I seem to remember the water is pretty rough at least getting to the baths from a dinghy it was . . . . it will be next week. If not any places on Virgin Gorda we can get to by car and do some snorkeling from the shore, thanks again. You can definitely snorkel off the beach at Savannah Bay, but I prefer two other places - 1.) Nail Bay Beach - Located close to the Sugarcane restaurant. Head to the beach, and then snorkel out to the rocks to the right. Great coral, decent marine life 2.) Long Bay Beach - Located at Mountain Point, between Sugarcane Restaurant and Hog Heaven. Best snorkeling is on the beach, then snorkel the rocks to the left. If you are up for a longer swim, you can also head all the way to the right of the beach, and then snorkel out to Mountain Point, which is great snorkeling. But a significantly longer swim as well

The big swells are more common December-April.
