Virgin Gorda Pass
Edit SpotAbout
Amazing
Atmosphere:
Amazing! Didn't ven know if this place had ever been surfed before until i saw an article about in Surfers Path. Nobody els in sight when i was there. Do not try and take a large boat near the break, best to anchor in the sound and atake a tender and achor outside the breaks, do not go onto Mosquito island it is private and the nearest beach on Virgin Gorda is steep and taking a boat in is not advised when there is a swell!
Additional Info:
Watch out for the sharp brain coral that sometimes pokes its head above the water! On a good day you'll see waves breaking from Gorda Sound, they look mythical from this distance on a good day but you have to get nearer to believe it!
