FrenchCDN4u > Magens Bay with Outer Brass Island in the background
FrenchCDN4u > Magens Bay viewed from Drake's seat This north shore bay is a wide, roomy expanse of white sand sheltered by palm trees. The island's most popular beach. British privateer Sir Francis Drake, commissioned by Queen Elizabeth I, is said to have used this spot to spy on enemy ships of the Spanish Fleet passing through what is now called Drake's Passage. You can pull off the road and enjoy the same view from this lookout point. There is actually a bench on the spot... thus the name Drake's seat. Bring your camera.
FrenchCDN4u > One of the island's best view points, Drake's Seat affords a panoramic picture of Magens Bay and the United States and British Virgin Islands strung out to the east. A popular stop on round-the-island taxi tours, this place can get crowded. If you visit in the late afternoon, the light is especially entrancing. Legend has it that 16th-century explorer Sir Francis Drake kept watch on his fleet from this vantage point, marked by a seat across the road from the parking area.
