2 Best Sights in St. Eustatius

Also known as the Lynch Plantation Museum, the two one-room buildings are replicas of the Berkel family's homes; they were built in honor of the matriarch's 100th birthday. The plantation provides an interesting perspective of life on Statia a century ago, when residents lived off the land. The remarkable collection includes family pictures, eyeglasses, original furnishings, and farming and fishing implements. Call Ismael Berkel to arrange a private tour. Since it's on the northeast side of the island, you'll need a taxi or car to get here.

Relaxation and quiet abound on these 52 acres, with a greenhouse, a palm garden, a kitchen garden, and an observation bird and nature trail. Its location, on the Atlantic side of the Quill on an old plantation called Upper Company, reveals a superb view of St. Kitts. For a picnic, there's no better place; but the only way to get here is by car or taxi, and some of the road is not well-paved.
