Roads are fairly well maintained, if you judge by Caribbean standards. However, most roads are narrow and you have to expect hairpin curves in the mountains and kidney-pounding ruts along the coast and in the forest. All the secondary roads are challenging, and even the nicest resorts and out-of-the-way restaurants are often reached by unpaved lanes. If you plan to explore isolated areas, consider renting a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
Cabrits National Park is the highlight of the northwest coast, and Fort Shirley is the highlight of the park. Plan to spend most of the day in this area exploring the grassy Cabrits promontory, its well-mapped stone ruins, and the two scenic bays that surround it on three sides. Bring water, sunblock, hiking boots or sturdy walking shoes, and a swimsuit. Throw in binoculars and snorkeling gear if you have them.
