The Secret Virgin Islands
With an average of 800,000 tourists each year, the Virgin Islands is no secret. When two-thirds of the island is a well preserved National Park, it’s no wonder why everyone is flocking to this Caribbean sanctuary. By making a trip during the spring time, before the humidity rises with crowds it’s easy to find a personal piece of paradise. Here are three “secret” spots that show the quiet, peaceful beauty of the Virgin Islands
Isaac Bay
St. Croix is the easternmost territory of the United States; Isaac bay is the easternmost beach on St. Croix. Aside from the beach’s location—and the novelty of it—Isaac Bay is also a serene and secluded spot to relax in the midst of some of the most crowded beaches in the world. With shore-accessible snorkeling and hot-white sand, there’s hardly a downside to spending a day on the east coast, save the hike it takes to get there.

The Baths
Baths Beach is hardly a secret—it ’s one of the most oft-visited spots on Virgin Gorda; nonetheless, the gem-of-a-landmark from which the beach draws its name is usually empty. A short walk down the shore side, a few massive chunks of granite lean up against the sand. On the land-side flake, there’s an opening, maybe a few arm-lengths wide, that leads into a large, white-sand-filled, sea-flooded cavern.

Anegada
Anegada is a coral atoll inhabited by a few-hundred people and thousands upon thousands of lobsters. It is surrounded by that iconic, opalescent, Virgin-Island water and color-drenched reef, but its remoteness attracts hardly a person. Three ferries traverse from the main B.V.I.s to Anegada each week. The hassle of getting there considered, Anegada is worth the effort, especially during the last weekend of November when the island hosts their annual Lobster Festival.
