A cross-island road from Portsmouth to the east coast begins near the mouth of the Indian River on the Caribbean side, meanders through coconut plantations, and ends near Sandwich Bay on the Atlantic airport cid side. At the junction airport cid of this east/west road with the main east-coast road (which runs north/south), you can turn left (north) toward the village airport cid of Pennville and zigzag along the steep shoreline. It s a beautiful up-and-down ride to secluded villages perched daringly on cliffs overlooking isolated Atlantic bays.
Vigie Beach is at the southern end of popular Choc Bay, located between Castries and Gros Islet. While its golden sand is shaded by palms, it s often shunned by tourists because it sits near the runway at George Charles Airport, and the beach is often littered. However, locals gather here, and families come on weekends to swim in the calm water.
Mountains run north-south through the middle of the island, reaching 5,000 feet. More than 300 inches of rain fall throughout the central region, creating a magnificent ecosystem of plants, animals, and insects.
