Best of Caribbean Real Estate... Sandy Ground (Road Bay)
Welcome to some of the funkiest real estate in the Caribbean... a (nearly) "bustling" tropical seaport. Sandy Ground (Road Bay) is the place for fun-filled nightlife.
You'll meet interesting people from all over the world, with their boats docked in the bay!
Have you ever seen the movie, Casablanca? It's kind of like that, except in the Caribbean. With the
constant in-and-out of folks from around the world visiting Johnno's, the Pumphouse, and so forth, there is
always something going on.
And there's no better place to be than Sandy Ground during the August boat races.
Let's see where we are...
Sandy Ground (Road Bay) 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.
Sandy Ground is genuine, commercial working port. From your home up in the
hills...
Looking north, over Sandy Ground and Road Bay...
... you can watch both the pleasure boats come and go, as well as the
weekly large container boat (everyone on the island plans their shopping
around that boat).
Personally, I'd rather have a nice piece of Caribbean real estate high in the hills on
either side of Road Bay. The hills offer spectacular views...
Looking south, back towards the above photo...

If you prefer to live "in the action"...
Taken from the Mariners (closed) looking south...
... homes at sea level do become available from time
to time, as well as just a bit inland (much cheaper).
Nightlife is just a step from your
porch, 365 days a year. Every weekend, there are BBQs, right on the beach. But it is hotter
if you buy "low-down," with less breeze.
The above photo was taken from the Mariners Resort. My Dad thinks you might be
able to work with Jackie Pascher
on this interesting (he calls it "distressed") Caribbean real estate
opportunity. See where the road forks in the
foreground of the photo below?...
Coming into Sandy Ground...
Follow the left fork to the (now) closed-down Mariners Resort. It has several
charming little West Indian cottages.
This establishment has opened and
closed under several owners. Sooner or later, they'll sell to individual
owners -- what a nice place for a winter getaway!
High up, or low down, Sandy Ground offers some funky and fun Caribbean
real estate.
