More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light cuts across the East End ridge and you step onto a sun-warmed observation deck with sea glass views of Great Bay and St. John beyond. The farm’s herbs and fruit trees slope away from the highest parcel on the headland; you can smell salt and citrus in the same breath as guides talk soil and seasons.

Plan your return taxi
The driver drops guests at Sapphire Beach; there’s no return shuttle so pre-book a taxi or note local pickup spots to avoid waits.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
You’ll spend time on sand and in shallow water — choose reef-safe sunscreen to protect both your skin and nearby coral.
Wear sturdy shoes
Farm paths are uneven and sometimes muddy; closed-toe walking shoes make the farm portion easier, with sandals for the beach portion.
Hydrate and carry a refill bottle
Caribbean sun and trade winds dehydrate quickly; carry water and refill at farm stations when available.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and local reefs during beach time.
