The Sleeping Lady of Virgin Gorda
She’s not just a mountain. She’s a legend.
From the sea, Virgin Gorda looks like a woman lying peacefully on her side.
Legend says she was a powerful island goddess who fell in love with a humble fisherman. When he died, she laid down in grief—never to rise again.
Her tears became The Baths. Her curves became the hills. Her spirit still watches over the island.
Treat her with respect… and she might just bless your journey.
