The Mt. Rich petroglyphs comprise several large boulders set in a deep ravine, with over 60 pre-Columbian carvings. The Interpretation Center offers a viewing platform, recently renovated by a local youth group (MYCEDO) who offers information on the petroglyphs ($5 EC) and a tour around the abandoned estates and villages nearby ($15EC).
It is a must see for people who are actually interested in the history of this amazing island. Carmen gave us a tour down to the riverside where you find the petroglyphs. We could see them up close and see even more (work)stones that can not been seen from the veranda that is looking over the stones. You can choose if you only want to look through the binaculours from above or the whole tour, we went as I said down to the stones. It is pretty hard for people who are less flexible to go down. But it is worth your time and effort. It took us 5 minutes to go down and there we were looking at 1300 year old carved stones! It was amazing! Carmen was very passionate about perserving this pearl of history. Keep it up!

We spent a lovely afternoon at the Tower Estate, first touring the beautiful gardens with flowers and fruit trees -- avocado, mango, carambola -- and then the historic great house with lots of memorabilia from World Wars 1 and 2. Old photographs of the several generations of family. Very personal tour and interesting anecdotes by a family member. We also enjoyed afternoon tea on the veranda, a very pretty setting with cucumber sandwiches, chocolate and carrot cake muffins, and cake. The blue butterfly pea flower tea was tasty and pretty. If you are looking for a way to spend an afternoon that is not the typical beach holiday, this is a marvelous way to do it.

Beautiful half-mile crescent with calm water that makes for excellent swimming.
Known locally as BBC Beach, this is a great spot to stretch out and relax. Lounge chairs in sun or shade were available for rent for about five bucks. The water was very calm and clear for swimming but not good for snorkeling. Restrooms and a local bar right there, near Sur La Mar hotel. Natives selling clothes and jewelry but they don’t intrude. Only problem: a booze cruise boat came and unloaded a crowd, but they only stayed for about an hour. Windstar was docked in the harbor at Saint Georges so we had to take a $25 taxi ride to and from the beach, which is the same price to go to any of the other beaches. I understand that some of the cruise ships dock in a different area near the water taxi which is much less expensive. We stopped to see Grand Anse and didn’t like it, no charm, just big. It’s all in what you’re looking for. If what you want is a quiet relaxing beautiful beach with more locals than tourists,,?you’re at the right spot.

Mountain with an emerald-green summit and vista-laden hiking trails.
The Mount Qua Qua trail has some breathtaking views! It is well worth the hike! After reading some reviews I was apprehensive about doing the trail due to descriptions of ‘narrow paths’, ‘steep drops’ and ‘cuts and bruises’. The hike was amazing and is a MUST if you are looking for a fun day out with beautiful views and some adventure. The path was not too narrow and I did the trail in 2.5hrs (round trip) without falling over or being cut by razor grass. We went on a dry day, wore long trousers, ankle wellies and found a stick to use for support. On a wet day the trail would be more challenging! As an inexperienced hiker I found the trail fairly easy and well marked. Please give it a go!

Comprised of two sublime waterfalls that plunge more than 70 feet into crystal pools. Together they make up the island's highest waterfall.
This one has easy access - 5 to 10 minutes walk on a simple trail (you don't need a guide - although at entrance there are guys offering you this service). Once there, you can enjoy quite an unusual view. Unlike most falls, this one is very wide, a straight rock block with water pouting over its top. Quite picturesque, and quite easy. and you can have a swim in pool under it. A word of caution - on a rainy day path gets muddy and slippery, keep it in mind.

An important waterfowl habitat and sea turtle nesting site near Bathways beach.
Levera Beach is roughly a 15-20 minute walk of 5 minute drive north of Bathway Beach. While Bathway Beach seems to be more popular, Levera Beach is prettier and a lot less busy. The afternoon I visited, there were just half a dozen kids splashing in the surf. The rest of the beach was essentially empty, except for the guard who watches sleepily from his small hut on the beach. Unlike Bathway Beach, there are no vendors at Levera Beach, so you'll need to bring your own food and drinks. A short distance off shore are Sugar Loaf island, Green island, and Sandy island. They make a beautiful backdrop and seem to provide some shelter from the powerful Atlantic surf. I didn't go in when I was there, but the water did look calm enough to swim there.
