Nail Bay is now a luxury resort community covering around 148 acres on the western side of Virgin Gorda. The resort includes a hotel, vacation villas and apartments built on the hillside below Gorda Peak National Park. There are three small sandy beaches which are mostly deserted and offering good snorkeling.

Nail Bay and neighbouring Long Bay are generally off the tourist route and provide great walking and local bird watching including herons, sandpipers turnstones and blacknecked stilts. The beaches are lined with mangroves and seagrapes with a steep wooded backdrop.
