Saba
Saba is a Caribbean island and the smallest special municipality of the Netherlands. It consists largely of the potentially active volcano Mount Scenery (870 m), the highest point within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Saba, including the islet of Green Island, became a special municipality within the country of the Netherlands after the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles on 10 October 2010. The island has a land area of 13 km² (5 sq. miles).
The Bottom
The Bottom is the capital and largest town of the island of Saba, the Caribbean Netherlands, and is the first stop on the way from Saba's Port in Fort Bay towards the rest of the island. It has approximately 500 inhabitants of the total 1,424 islanders. The Bottom is home to the government offices, a hospital, a nursing home, a sports field, three churches, a library, various shops and the Saba University School of Medicine.
Windwardside
Windwardside is the second largest town on the island of Saba, aptly named for being on the windward side of the island. The hike up the stairs to the top of Mount Scenery can begin from the road just outside Windwardside. Two banks and several dive shops as well as multiple grocery stores, gift shops, etc. are located here. There is also a maritime museum full of Saban history.
Ladder Bay, Saba
Ladder Bay is an anchorage on the leeward side of Saba. It sits directly under the 800 steps to the old Customs House perched precariously on the lip of a cliff overlooking the bay and is locally known as The Ladder. Prior to the opening of the road down to Fort Bay, this was the primary point of entry for supplies to the island. To the west, the Saba Marine Park manages about half a dozen moorings that are in about 60’ of water.
St. Johns, Saba
St. Johns is the smallest settlement on Saba and is located between The Bottom and Windwardside. St. Johns is primarily a residential area, but also contains both schools on the island, the Sacred Heart School and Saba Comprehensive School. Attached to the Sacred Heart School is a small chapel that is run by Father Janssen. It is common to see the chapel used by the school on weekdays for religious class and on Sunday for mass.
Hell's Gate, Saba
Hell's Gate is the first town one reaches on the Caribbean island of Saba after leaving the Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport, the smallest commercial airport in the world. Hell's Gate was officially named "Zion's Hill" after complaints from the church forced the Island's government to change the name. However, "Hell's Gate" is still used by many Sabans and visiting tourists today.
Saba University School of Medicine
Saba University School of Medicine is a for-profit medical school located in The Bottom, Saba, a special municipality of the Netherlands in the Caribbean. Saba University confers upon its graduates the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. Saba University is owned by R3 Education, Inc.
