USVI-On-Line

Hi everyone, I know the Tourist Trap is on the way to Salt Pond but how far up the road from the parking lot is it? Thanks.

not far

it's before the salt pond lot at the top of the long hill--just where you turn in for Concordia.

Where is it in relation to Skinny Legs, would we pass it heading that way?

No... in Coral Bay, make a right turn at the corner triangle - where all the signs used to be... in early November just a bench there - from Rt 10 (Centerline Rd) onto Rt 107, going South toward Salt Pond. If you go past the Guy Benjamin School and Skinnys, you have gone too far East.

It is maybe two miles or so from the Coral Bay intersection to the Tourist Trap. (I'm not good at judging distances... or in giving directions. Hope this helps some - very much worth the trip.)

Edited third time to add that Gerald Singer says it is 3.9 miles.

SJMike.... Good to hear from you! Hope all is well up north!!

Looks like someone posted a Google Map for you of the location but I'm not sure if the program you use will translate that for you or not.

As you head to Salt Pond, the Tourist Trap is on the left hand side right at the turn off for Concordia. Salt Pond is literally around the corner by Jeep from the Tourist Trap.

The buses run out there but you know that they run far apart and you could be waiting a while but it's doable.

But if you can, I suggest getting a ride.

They'll take good care of you at the Tourist Trap with Larry and his pals.

When are you going to be on island?

StJohnMike - check out my TR Umbrella drink tour/Ram Head installment.

I have a few pictures of the TT. If you're on the right road, you can't miss it - and you shouldn't:)

I don't know about mileage, but I'd guess it's a 10-15 minute ride from the Coral Bay triangle out to the Tourist Trap.

That is a perfect Virgin Island way of giving directions here ----- " Turn at the triangle 'where all the signs used to be' " ----- so many times I hear things phrased that way -It's a great VI tradition.

Thank you - thank you. I am glad that I got some portion of it right!

Thanks for all the info everyone.
Gromit, I'll be back on island Nov. 26th - Dec. 19th this year, hope to see you at the Beach Bar!

Mike! Me and the ladies are going to be sailing around the BVI but I expect we may haunt STJ for at least a day. Just don't know which day yet!

Glad hear you are doing well and heading back down again for a long stay (well-deserved I'm sure!)

Big Hugs to you good buddy!! If someone walks up to you and gives you a big squeeze out of the blue you'll know it's me
