Getting around Northwest Point

Northwest Point requires a rental vehicle as it's located about 45 minutes from the main resort areas via mostly unpaved roads. The final stretch involves rough terrain that's best navigated with an SUV or vehicle with good ground clearance.

Rental car

A rental car is essential for reaching Northwest Point, preferably an SUV or 4WD vehicle due to the rough, unpaved roads leading to this remote peninsula.

Public transit

There is no public transportation to Northwest Point due to its remote location and undeveloped access roads.

Rideshare & taxis

Uber and Lyft are not available, but some local taxi drivers may agree to the trip for a premium rate, though most prefer not to risk their vehicles on the rough roads.

Local tips for Northwest Point

Insider tips

Visit during low tide for the best access to hidden coves and tide pools along the coastline.
Bring a full tank of gas as there are no services on the western peninsula and the rough roads consume more fuel.
Pack a beach umbrella or pop-up shelter since there's virtually no natural shade on the exposed cliffs.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen as the marine environment here is particularly pristine and protected.
Check weather conditions before heading out as the exposed location can be dangerous during rough weather.
Bring a waterproof bag for your phone and camera due to ocean spray and potential waves.
Start your visit early morning to avoid the intense midday Caribbean sun on the exposed coastline.
Inform your hotel or rental property of your plans since cell service can be spotty in this remote area.
Look for the famous wild horses that sometimes graze in the scrubland behind the coastal cliffs.
