Best of Caribbean Real Estate... Flat Cap Point

Welcome to the craggy cliffs of Flat Cap Point! Flat Cap Point is the rocky point where two cliffs meet. Totally uninhabited and brilliantly beautiful, this would be a fascinating place to live.

But you'd have to be pretty self-sufficient... solar power, satellite for TV (hey, we can't live without that and the Net, right?), and of course, one gigantic cistern for water.

But it would be a wonderful way to live (I think). The ultimate Caribbean real estate getaway.

Let's see where we are...

Map Flat Cap Point Flat Cap Point is the red dot on the map to the left.

Click anywhere on the map to see a high-scale map showing you how to get there.

Like I said, it's all cliffs here! So, if you're looking for Caribbean beach real estate, you've come to the wrong place. On the other hand, you're close to both Limestone Bay and Little Bay.

The views are outstanding. Let's take a peek (don't lean too close over the edge)...

Looking Southward, Towards Little Bay....
If you look closely, you can see charming Little Bay at the end of the line of cliffs (the white sand visible below the dirt-colored cliffs facing us).

There are no houses along this entire cliffside. Just a long, rather dangerous rope climb down to Little Bay (better to take the boat from Crocus Bay).

Looking Eastward
Along the Cliffs Towards Limestone Bay...

Just look at that infinite stretch of blue...!

It's an abundance of beauty, and that hole-like cove makes me just want to jump right in!

Almost.

Speaking of jumping in... my Dad nearly fell in!!! It happened like this...

From Limestone Bay, we had turned right (West) at the road toward Flat Cap Point. It was exciting, because the cliff edge was so close. My Dad was extra careful parking the car.

Anyway, with care we all got out of the car and took a look at the vivid vistas! We were in awe! My Dad was too.

How could I tell? He said he wanted to hike down the face of the cliff... in loose sandals

He found a gradual slope and picked his way down slowly, then disappeared from view. Forty minutes passed. Just as we were growing worried, my Dad's head popped up over the edge of the sheer cliff.

He was tired, hot, and thirsty. It turns out (as he told us later), that the descent was so slow and winding that he was just too tired to take another 35 minutes to do it again... uphill.

So instead... he climbed the cliff face... something he had never done. And he still had the camera and those flip-flops!

So yes, pretty dangerous. Leave it to my Dad to do the stupidly impossible! But we were all quite relieved that he didn't damage the camera (heh heh).

But the views are honestly spectacular! So, if you're the type of person who likes cliff side properties, you may just want to check this out!
