More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A trade wind pushes warm salt across Sea View Avenue as you step onto the narrow ridge above Marigot Bay. The trail runs close to the crest: palm shadows shift, waves flash below, and the bay opens in sudden, full panoramas—yachts at anchor, a reef line dark against turquoise water. The walk itself is compact, deliberate: mostly singletrack and paved path with low rises that test your legs and reward you with view after view.
