Wallilabou Bay is a deep, narrow inlet on the leeward coast about an hour's drive north of Kingstown — a cliff-edged anchorage with dark sand, a tiny beach and the half-fallen film-set facades of Port Royal still tacked to the foreshore. The result is more atmospheric than it sounds: green volcanic walls drop straight into the bay, the water is deep blue, and the wooden gallows-cage erected for the films swings in the breeze above the rocks.
The bay is a popular yacht stop and the Wallilabou Anchorage restaurant on the waterfront serves a decent fish lunch with cold beer if you're driving through. Snorkelling along the cliff sides is good and you can sometimes swim with sea turtles. The route up the leeward coast to get here — through Layou, Barrouallie and over a series of hairpin bends — is half the experience.
