Buildings are precariously perched on hillsides in Windwardside, the second largest village of Saba. At 1,700 feet above sea level, the views are astonishing as you amble along the lanes, taking in the red-roofed homes, banana trees and oleander bushes. In a 150-year-old cottage is the Saba Museum, once the home of a 19th-century sea captain, which displays period pieces and old documents. Windwardside makes an excellent base for hiking, especially up the 1,064 steps to the top of Mount Scenery.

Where the magic happens .... Glass Art, Jewelry & Beads. Hot glass art, Saba made from Murano Glass. Demonstrations given. Schedule a class and bring home a memory.
What a terrific experience and well worth your time and money. Jo is a lovely woman, funny and patient. She showed us many ways to create our own unique glass gems. From beads to hearts and many other structures. This is an activity almost anyone can do. My son (20 yrs old) absolutely loved it!! He made some personalized gifts for his girlfriend and Mom. Boy, is he gonna score! MUCH better than buying a "souvenir" made in China. We did the 3 hour class and would do it again. She is a true artist. Her workshop is safe and has many items on display to buy. I picked up a few items and made a few things myself that I will always cherish. Priceless moments and unique mementos my son and I will never forget. This is a must do in Saba. Thank you Jo.

At 3,000 feet, Mount Scenery is the highest point on the mountainous island of Saba and can be reached via a difficult hike through the rainforest.
The trail up Mount Scenery consists of packed dirt and carved stone steps. No two steps are the same height or width. If it has been rainy at all, chances are the steps are slick. A walking stick or pole is helpful (walking sticks are usually available at the little trailhead building). Once close to the top, I felt like I was in a scene from Jurassic Park: huge tree ferns, dense green foliage, rugged rock outcroppings, all partially obscured by swirling mist. And if you are fortunate to be there when the mist lifts, fabulous views of the island.

Windwardside is a beautiful town. Over looking the ocean with an amazing view of Mount Scenery, good accommodation options and many great restaurants. We loved our stay there. For divers, Sea Saba is a great shop, helped us set everything up from tours to diving and dinner reservations. One of the friendliest places we have ever been. 100% recommend visiting Saba.
