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. |

Above the bay you will find the Nail Bay
Ruins which consist of plantation buildings and the remains
of an old sugar factory. The slopes above Nail Bay were once
covered with sugarcane and worked by slaves. There would
have once been a slave village, possibly on the site of the
current resort or slightly further up the hill. |
