Arlington House Museum

A museum in a restored 18th-century merchant's house in Speightstown, once a major sugar port. Three floors of interactive exhibits tell the story of the town and the island's history, from trade and slavery to everyday life. It takes an hour or so; afterwards walk the boardwalk and the old streets of the town.

A seafront restaurant in a converted old fort building just north of Speightstown, near the fishing village of Six Men's Bay, serving modern Caribbean and international dishes with plenty of fresh fish. Tables look straight over the water, and it's calm and romantic at sunset. Book ahead, especially for dinner at weekends.
