The people are extremely friendly. Make sure you eat a Bun and Cheese. Also hit Jackson's in St. Johns for simple west indian food. Be sure to visit St. John's Cathedral also. The south part of the island is more rural and covered with green peaks. The beaches are truly amazing. Every beach on the west coast is gorgeous. Half moon bay on the east coast is awesome. Also, be sure to find some homemade ginger beer. The locals make it at the smaller restuarants and side road stands. On the southeast side of the island, you definitely can see the island of Monserret with its volcano. Also St. Kitts is visible. Be sure to eat some fruit on the south side of the island, such as pineapples, grapefruits, oranges, mangos, figs (small fat bananas) and breadfruit. Enjoy!
