Saba things to see and do
Climbers paradise
Fort Bay
Visit the rocky beach at Fort Bay, where a dramatic steep climb of 800 steps has been carved out of the rock. En route to the summit walkers will pass the island's four villages, which are mere clusters of ornate timber cottages perching on the flanks of the mountain.
Harry L Johnson Memorial Museum
Take in the Harry L Johnson Memorial Museum in Windwardside, the restored home of a Dutch sea captain. Windwardside also contains the tourist office, the island's two largest guest houses and most of its shops.
Hiking trails
Get active and head up one of the many marked hiking trails that lead up to Mount Scenery, from where you can take in the stunning views. Although some of the more difficult trails require a guide, many of the easier routes will take you through Saba's lush rain forest, tidepools and fascinating historic ruins.
Hilltop spa retreat
Relax at the island's hilltop spa retreat, where you can indulge in a treatment or meditate with a spot of yoga.
Marine life
Experience the stunning marine life along Saba's craggy coastline. Although Saba has no beaches, the waters around the island have been declared a protected marine park in recognition of the unique opportunities for wall diving. Giant sea turtles and humpback whales are seasonal visitors.
The Bottom
Visit the island's capital, The Bottom, where the Artisan Foundation exhibits early examples of 'Saba lace': intricate embroidery on linen that resembles lace.
