Views of St. George's, the lovely Carenage, the harbor, and Fort George can be had first thing in the morning. Go in the evening, while the sun is setting over the sea, to see (maybe) a stunning sunset, with the hills behind you bathed in light. The south-western peninsula, the airport, the roofs of St. George's University, Grand Anse Beach, and small Glovers Island, which was temporarily utilized for whaling in the 1920s, can all be seen at any time of day. In July and August, the entrance will be decked with scarlet blossoms from Flamboyant trees.
