- Summit Viewpoint — A short scramble at the top opens to broad, nearly 360° views: turquoise Caribbean on one side, the lagoon and marina on the other. It’s the kind of lookout where you can watch ferries, sailboats and distant coastlines all at once — great for sunrise or late-afternoon light.
- Rugged Coastal Cliffs — The trail skirts rocky outcrops and low cliffs that drop toward vivid blue water. This stretch stands out because the sea’s color contrasts sharply with the dry-stone terrain, giving you amazing photo angles without the crowds found at beach viewpoints.
- Dry Caribbean Woodland — Bellevue cuts through classic island scrub and thorny woodland rather than lush rainforest, so you’ll see acacia, agave and flowering shrubs up close. The plant palette and scents are uniquely Caribbean

- Dry Caribbean Woodland — Bellevue cuts through classic island scrub and thorny woodland rather than lush rainforest, so you’ll see acacia, agave and flowering shrubs up close. The plant palette and scents are uniquely Caribbean and change the light and texture of the hike compared with greener inland trails.
- Wildlife Pockets — Keep your eyes peeled for lizards basking on rocks, colorful butterflies, and shore birds near the lagoon. You won’t get dense jungle encounters here, but the concentrated mix of coastal and woodland species makes wildlife spotting feel refreshingly varied.
- Local Character and Ruins — Scattered along the path are stone walls, old agricultural terraces and the occasional small hamlet. Those cultural traces give the hike a lived-in feel — you’re walking through both natural scenery and the island’s human history, not a sanitized park.
