My wife and I decided to visit the viewpoint when stopping off in the area from our cruise of the West Indies and really enjoyed the time spent there. The site provides great views of Roseau, including the vessels sitting proudly in the harbour, the stadium, the Botanic Garden, and several other city sights.…

This lookout point offers a great view of Roseau. There are also the remains of an old fort at the top and some interpretive signs. The hike up there takes about 20 minutes on a trail from the Botanical Gardens. There are several view spots along the way. Keep an eye out for lizards and birds along the way. Otherwise, there is a road to the top if you don't want to climb.…

Originally we thought we would drive here but after visiting Botanic Gardens we discovered there is a trail up to the first vista point (the one with the cross/cannon) and then up there we discovered the other "for cars" vista point with the expanded map/info and beautifully benches set up for some sun soaking and sea breeze exposure - very rewarding after a difficult hike (it's steep, narrow and slippery at times, even in dry conditions). Views are 3-4 stars, but with the hike and the fact you get 2 vista points it's 5 in my book :) For hike shoes are an absolute must; though I did see some people in flip flops... it's up to you. Take some water with you as you will "burn some calories" and at the actual vista point there are restrooms but no vendors/shops to get water from. Definitely worth a stop and your time while in Roseau area - we actually spent good 30 minutes just sitting on the benches after the hike, it's super relaxing and peaceful and there is barely anybody there as most people get dropped off downhill at the Botanic Gardens and from there they go somewhere else TIP: the "official vista point" is much better in my opinion and you can always walk from there to the one where you would hike to, thus you can hit both if difficult hike/walk up is not your thing…

As the sign (below) explains, this formerly was the location of guns defending the city. Now it offers stunning views of the city and sea. Part of that is a new stadium that China provided major funding for (something we heard on several islands)
