Keep an eye out for mahogany trees and elephant ears. Mt. Healthy National Park at Brewer s Bay requires a drive up a bumpy road and a short hike to see a partially restored stone windmill. Although it s definitely the most civilized of the natural excursions, the J. R. O Neal Botanic Gardens is also very rewarding for plant lovers. Just a 10-minute walk from the dock at the edge of Road Town, the garden is small but has great variety. Check out the bush garden with its array of medicinal plants and herbs, the hothouses of ferns and orchids, the cactus garden and the many exotic tropical plants.
Prices vary greatly.
Pusser s Road Town Pub is one of the most popular spots in town. Everyone heads there for pizza, deli sandwiches and Pusser s famous Painkiller Punch. Stop by Capriccio di Mare for a capuccino and a biscotti or a cool mango Bellini from its setting overlooking the harbor. The menu includes sandwiches, salads and pasta with six different sauces. Roti Palace may not look very impressive, but it s known for its tasty rotis of fish, chicken or beef.
