North Gorda Sound

Gorda Sound is a gateway harbour in the British Virgin Islands located in the Caribbean. The islands form part of the British overseas territory and benefit from a tropical climate. Gorda Sound is situated between one of the main islands, Virgin Gorda and Mosquito Island, Colquhoun Reef and Prickly Pear Island. From here, visitors can enjoy the Indian heritage of its namesake Mosquito Island, a history of island tourism from Drake's Anchorage Resort and spend some time relaxing in picturesque surroundings on Prickly Pear Island. As the British Virgin Islands are a volcanic archipelago, the area benefits from magnificent reefs which are perfect for divers and snorkelers. The islands are also known as a popular yachting destination as much of the area is easily sailed. On the land, visitors will enjoy white sandy beaches to relax on or, for the more adventurous, there are plenty of mountain roads and rainforest-filled landscape to explore.
