Drake’s Seat
-
Legend has it that the 16th-century explorer Sir Francis Drake kept tabs on his troops from this spot (seeDrake’s Seat, St. Thomas). Today, it’s often busy with taxi drivers stopping to let passengers enjoy the stupendous view of Magens Bay, St. John, and the entire BVI chain to the east. A small parking lot sits on the north side of the narrow road, with the seat – not the original – just across the road. There can be a lot of traffic, so be careful crossing the street.
