Creator's Key Takeaways

So, this is not our first time being here. So, we kind of had a general idea of what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go.

It's a lovely walk. As you can see, there's different sections. And this is the section that's closest to the ship where you have these small little popup places where you can buy things and eat.

Yes, the queen and bridge. It's a swinging bridge, but a unique swinging bridge. It actually just pivots on one side to completely open. It's amazing to watch.

So after walking around those streets, we headed back to the pier front. It's actually an inlet. So I don't want to say oceanfront or riverfront, but it has the sense of a river.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Spend a half day or a few hours walking around to soak in the island's flavor.
Start at the fort area for a great view and vibe.
Watch the Queen Emma Bridge swing open and close from a cafe along the water.
