Havensight is great place to find restaurants. Cruise ships dock there so it’s also a good place to hang in the day if looking for something touristy to do and in the evening for a happy hour cocktail at a variety of restaurants. Check out Tap & Still for burgers, wings, and beer on tap; Smoking Rooster for BBQ everything; Stir it Up coffee shop for sandwiches and lattes; and so many other cool restaurants in the area!

Sightseeing
Ride the tramway to Paradise Point near Havensight Mall and get some amazing photos at the top. I recommend going right before sunset. They’re popular for their frozen drinks, particularly the Bushwhacker. There’s also a restaurant... You may need to make reservations in advance of planning dinner at their Prime Restaurant.

A day at the beach is an inexpensive must-do on island!
Most beaches are free with the exception of the very popular ones (Magen’s Bay, Lindquist, and Coki Point), in which you’re essentially paying for the amenities (showers, restrooms, parking, etc.)
Was einpacken?
Bring comfortable slip-on shoes
Bring comfortable slip-on shoes for the beach, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, shorts, breathable shirts... basically dress for the tropics!
