 | Port-au-Prince Off the Beaten Path | Tips 1 - 3 of 3 |  |
Popular Off the Beaten Path | Other Off the Beaten Path Tips | All Tips (3) Went to a 3 star resort about an hour and a half outside of Port-au-Prince. The drive was amusing on its own---great scenery-- The beach was an amazing spot considering what I had been seeing over the last couple of days. I went snorkeling,swimming, kayaking, played volleyball and mostly just lounged on the beach. I believe a day at this resort was 13$US, which includes a spectacular buffet. Although not the best beach ever, it was still a great way to spend the day. I would reccomend it. Leave a Comment

If you have the opportunity and the ressources go for a drive up one of the many mountains around town.There are some amazing views and nice little street vendors. This picture was taken in Fairmathe (very close to Kenscoff I believe). It is from the back of an orphanage we stoped in to visit. The mountains are stunning!!! Leave a Comment

Take a trip along the coast west of Port-au-Prince to Leogane where you can see a modern hospital, an eye clinic . . . and a symphony orchestra!
When you pull into town past the Simone Duvalier School (which has since been renamed!), you drive into old Colonial Leogane. There are, remarkably, still several lovely old buildings from the colonial past well preserved at the entrance to the town.
You can walk to a beach heaped with conch shells and lined with palms. You can visit Ecole St. Croix beside the Hospital. There is an eye clinic on the school grounds just opposite the music kiosk which has such excellent acoustics that if you speak in a whisper on the stage, someone across the champs can easily hear you. It's no place to gossip!
If you visit the last three weeks in July, there will be a wonderful music camp with three symphony orchestras, a marvelous boy choir and if you're lucky, the fabulous bell choir from St. Vincent's in Port-au-Prince. There are concerts on Sunday afternoon free of charge. Leave a Comment
