French Harbour
The most bustling community on the island, French Harbour is home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the western Caribbean. The best supermarket on the island, Eldon's, is located at the entrance to the town. It stocks everything you could need for a picnic on the beach or an overnight stay on one of the deserted islets. Like Coxen Hole, however, the town is a gritty industrial town and is a better stop for visiting banks and shopping than as a final destination.
