Top neighborhoods in Road Town

Wickhams Cay 1

Wickhams Cay 1 buzzes with financial energy where glass towers house international banks alongside scenic harbor views. Hop on a ferry to explore nearby islands or stroll along the waterfront promenade where luxury yachts bob in the breeze. The cruise ship port welcomes visitors while the Virgin Islands Folk Museum offers a taste of local history.

While there are no hotels directly in this commercial area, the neighborhood serves as a perfect jumping-off point for island adventures with water taxis and ferry services readily available.

Waterfront

Road Town's Waterfront neighborhood bustles with Caribbean charm along scenic promenades facing the azure sea. Colorful stalls at Crafts Alive Market offer local treasures while yacht-filled marinas create a forest of masts against the sky.

Dining options range from casual beach bars to upscale establishments serving conch fritters and rum punches. The area functions as a transit hub with ferry terminals connecting to neighboring islands. The compact, pedestrian-friendly promenade becomes peaceful in early mornings and evenings when locals fish and exercise along the harbor.
