North of St John's, Runaway Bay and adjoining Dickenson Bay
constitute the island's main tourist strip, with a couple of excellent
beaches, a host of good hotels and restaurants, and plenty of action.
Continuing clockwise round the island brings you to its Atlantic side,
where the jagged coastline offers plenty of inlets, bays and swamps but,
with a couple of noteworthy exceptions, rather less impressive beaches.
Tourist facilities on this side of the island are much less developed,
but there are several places of interest.
Betty's Hope
is a restored sugar plantation; Devil's Bridge offers one of the
most dramatic landscapes on the island; at picturesque Half Moon Bay
you can scramble along a vertiginous clifftop path above the pounding
Atlantic; and at the delightful Harmony Hall you can relax from
your exertions with an excellent lunch and a boat ride to Green Island. |
