Route 38 jerk stand

Havensight & Yacht Haven, Charlotte Amalielast order: unknowncounter

A roadside jerk-chicken and barbecue stand on the Route 38 side of the island, a short taxi ride from Havensight or downtown; smoke from the drum-barrel grill is the landmark, not a street address, so ask your driver or hotel for the current location before you go.

  • Caribbean ↗Several islands (Turks and Caicos above all, also the Bahamas and Jamaica) jail visitors for a single stray bullet or cartridge in their luggage; empty every bag and pocket before you pack.
  • Caribbean ↗From August to October keep a free last day before your flight home and check the national hurricane centre daily; airports close when a named storm approaches.
  • Caribbean ↗Wearing camouflage clothing is illegal for civilians in several islands, including Barbados, Antigua, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenada, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica; leave it at home, children's clothes included.
  • US Virgin Islands ↗Entry follows US rules: international visitors need a US visa or ESTA as for the mainland. US citizens need no passport from the mainland, but must clear customs when leaving for the mainland.
  • US Virgin Islands ↗The British Virgin Islands are a separate British territory: a ferry trip there is an international crossing and needs a passport.
  • US Virgin Islands ↗Protect the reefs: do not stand on coral, and follow national park rules on St John.
  • Charlotte Amalie ↗Cruise-ship days change everything: check the port schedule for the days you plan to be downtown and go before 09:00 or after 16:00.
  • Charlotte Amalie ↗After dark, take taxis between clusters and back to your bed rather than walking.
