along the coastal roads and visit seaside villages, allow plenty of time to travel inland to explore the best natural sites. Branches of the Transinsular Road and the Roseau-Laudat Road provide access to many of the attractions in Morne Trois Pitons National Park and the Central Forest Reserve. Other locations can be reached by interior roads that jut off the main coast road and cut through the mountain forests. You can reach many of the sites by car, but many more require a hike, and a few are demanding full-day excursions.
King George V Street is the major east/west road through town, and it is lined with balconied restaurants and shops. Find it off Bay Front between the tourist office and Royal Bank of Canada, and follow it up toward Morne Bruce Hill to the Botanical Gardens. This 40-acre garden planted on a former sugarcane field thrives on approximately 85 inches of rain each year, and while some of the oldest vegetation has been destroyed by hurricanes, there are still 500 species of trees and plants to see. Take time to visit the aviary to view endangered Jaco and Sisserou parrots (they are bred in a research area behind the exhibition cages, but the lab is not open to the public), and get a reality check at the monument to Hurricane David a crushed school bus trapped under a giant baobab tree that was uprooted by the 1979 storm. syracuse airport weather
Doolittle s Restaurant is steps away, and features Cr ole and international dishes. If you re in the mood for a burger, Big Bamboo cooks up about 50 different kinds. Diving is the main passion among most guests, and a PADI dive shop offers training and scuba/snorkeling trips. In addition, there s a swimming pool, a water-sports center on the shady beach, a gym, and gift shop.
