This is a sleepy island. On the NW side beautiful bays are lined one after the other, waiting to be discovered by sailors. Sandy beaches are edged by coral reefs, the waves from the surf are playing with sand. The only living creatures on most beaches are birds, feeding themselves on small crabs washed ashore. Driving NE the road starts climbing into the rain forest area, magnificent trees are shading the land, jungle is coloured with orange blooming Indian Coral trees. Five waterfalls are adding to the beauty of the rain forest.
Besides Scarborough on SE, Charlotteville on the NW side of the island is the only port.
Even though the east side is exposed to the wind and waves, most population of 47000 lives there. As far as building on the island, anything goes, modern structures rise among small shacks. In the Scarborough suburb the Art Centre and a new hospital are being built now.
