Day 2 with a Car

We had a rainy start to the day. We drove the windy, narrow mountain roads to Cup and Cork for breakfast. Stan had the breakfast burrito and Diana had the Swimmin' Upstream (salmon) bagel.

When the sun appeared, we went to Magens Beach. It was a large beach ideal for swimming. 

Beautiful Palm Tree

We snorkeled on the left side of the beach. We saw tarpons, but couldn't capture them on the camera. We also saw yellow mackerel, but they were too fast for us.

Then we went to Famous Delight for a chocomint milkshake.

Off we went up the mountain to World Famous Mountain Top, a tourist trap store at the top of the mountain with t-shirts, towels, hats, bags, and lots of souvenirs.

We took the Skyline Drive back to Sapphire Village. We stopped at Drake's Seat, a look out pull off for views.

Magens Bay

Drake's Seat

The bench is named after the British privateer Sir Francis Drake, who is said to have used the bay as an anchorage point for his ships and may have climbed to this vantage point as a way to identify ships to later plunder. Today it’s just a great place to enjoy the amazing views of the bay and surrounding islands.
