Upper Town is the place Oranjestad at present exists.

history channel documentary science In the event that you are on a cruising contract, you will in all likelihood stay in Oranjestad Bay. When you figure out how to get shorewards and check in with the Harbor office and Marine Park Office, you are allowed to meander and investigate the island's rich recorded past. Oranjestad (the main town) is comprised of Lower Town and Upper Town. Lower Town, in the harbor zone, still has a couple of remainders of its previous wonderfulness. As you stroll under the bluffs along the mile long harbor, you can at present see the remnants of old stockrooms and stores that have for the most part crumpled into the ocean, in spite of the fact that the repaired Old Gin House gives a look at what Statia looked like in its prime. Proceeding with the street, you will pass Oranje Beach. The beige and dark sand is a decent place to rest, and snorkeling along the old city seawalls and remnants is great given there is not a swell which tends to make the surf rather harsh.

Upper Town is the place Oranjestad at present exists. There are three approaches to achieve this sprawling town roosted on the bluffs over the straight. The first is to take after the cleared harbor street from the Harbor office to the far end - around 1 mile. The street then bends forcefully and rises steeply up onto the bluffs and into town. This course is less demanding via auto than by walking. The second course is to climb a couple of profound stone strides behind the Old Gin House which conveys you to the cobblestone "Old Slave Road." This street goes straight up the bluffs.
