Ladder Bay

8 years ago

Historical Monument - The Ladder Prior to the building of the Fort Bay Harbour, access to Saba was by way of this flight of steps up the cliffs of Ladder Bay. Ships would anchor offshore and all cargo had to be carried by foot up the nearly vertical stairway to the village of The Bottom. The stone masonry steps were the only way to get from the sea to the island villages for many years. Now hikers can descend The Ladder to the water, enjoying magnificent scenery along the way. A former customs house two-thirds of the way down is an excellent lookout point to enjoy the beautiful views of the sea and shore.

Great hike down and/or up the old steps leading from the coast to the village of The Bottom. Once one of the main access ways to the island.
