The Cruz Bay Overlook is definitely the closest to get to and a must stop! As you head out of town on the North Shore Road you will immediate go up the hill. At the top of the hill is the Cruz Bay Overlook on your left and an incredible vantage point. Plenty of room to pull over and capture the hustle and bustle of Cruz Bay with boats traveling in and out of the harbor. You can take in all of Cruz Bay on this view, and not to mention views of the Pillsbury Sound, Steven Cay, Great St. James, Little St. James, and the east end of St. Thomas.
Talk about staggering views! Neptune’s Lookout is home to the Windmill Bar located next to the Susannaberg Windmill Ruins which were erected in the 1780’s.

It’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset, the moonrise, and mesmerizing expansive views you’ll take home as priceless memories!

With views of the North Shore and the British Virgin Islands, this stunning Overlook is located on the North Shore Road just up the hill after you leave Cinnamon Bay headed east or leaving Maho Bay up the hill headed west.

Daydream about what it’s like to have a sailboat moored in Coral Bay and what it would be like to cruise the Caribbean. Notice the slowness of the view on this side of the island as homes are spread out and the quietness is a treasure. So enjoy this incredible view and take lots of pictures!
This incredible Overlook is located on Centerline Road and one of the only Overlooks with a view of the North Shore and beyond before Coral Bay.

This Overlook is located approximately .5 miles past Midway (Adrian) on the left hand side with only a small pull over for one vehicle. Be careful.
