THE NEIGHBORHOOD: POINT BLANCHE

Point Blanche is the headland east of Philipsburg, above Great Bay and the island’s cruise port. Most homes here are apartments and condos, many with harbour or ocean views. Front Street’s shops and the boardwalk on Great Bay Beach are about a 15-minute walk from the port, and Guana Bay’s Atlantic surf beach is just over the hill. On cruise-ship days the port below is busy; the hillside streets stay residential.
