Enjoy a photo stop before continuing down to the heart-shaped beach and crystalline waters at Magens Bay for two hours of swimming and relaxation. Experience the world-famous Blackbeard's Castle and the Kongens (King's) Quarter, sometimes called "The Williamsburg of the Caribbean." Learn about the island's legacy of pirates, slavery, and life as you visit National Landmark Properties dating back to the late 1600s. Pass the famous 99 Steps and visit the Caribbean World Amber Museum, the Rum Museum and Factory, and West Indian Treasure Company.
