More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull off the coastal road and the landscape changes — banana palms give way to blackened earth and the air tightens with the scent of mineral heat. The Pitons rise like twin cliffs guarding the bay while the drive-in crater of Sulphur Springs steams at your feet, a place where the island’s geology actively breathes.

You’ll be muddy and wet after the baths and waterfall; a dry change makes the return drive far more comfortable.
Use biodegradable sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens can harm local waters — choose reef-safe formula to protect marine and freshwater ecosystems.
