After seeing seven or eight inches of snow spread out over the week, my front yard looks nothing like a tropical beach. I'd rather be on a beach. And if I had a choice, it would probably be a beach in the Virgin Islands.

The southern side of Virgin Gorda is lined with scenic grottoes formed by the huge granite boulders that help form the shore. The beach is called The Baths, and it's about 2km from the Spanish Town.

If you're looking for a nice place to spend a few days this winter, I highly recommend the Virgin Islands. And Virgin Gorda is one of the best spots.
