This sprawling 1921 estate offers a fascinating trip through time to the Florida of years gone by. This waterfront home, once inhabited by world-renowned artist Frederic Clay Bartlett and his wife, Evelyn, is accessible now as part of a guided tour. The formal tropical gardens and unique design are worth a few hours of quiet afternoon exploration.

St Barts Airport (SBH) thrills aviation enthusiasts with its dramatic 650-metre runway with one of the world's most challenging approaches. Landing aircraft must dive steeply right after clearing the hillside, then immediately pull up just a few seconds before touching down. The distance between the edge of the hill and the plane can be less than two meters! Prime viewing spots include St Jean Beach (where planes appear to skim sunbathers), the western runway perimeter, and the airport terminal cafeteria with its panoramic windows. For a grand perspective, the hills east of St Jean Bay frame the runway against turquoise waters. Note: never linger directly beneath flight paths — these low-flying aircraft leave no margin for error.

This tiny charming cove beach 60m long combines sand, pebbles and rock and is located at the foot of Sierra Helada between steep cliffs. An ideal location for diving enthusiasts and for snorkelling since the water is crystal clear. If you want to escape from Benidorm's busier beaches, this is the place to come to.
