Saint Martin: Bell's Lookout Point

William Henry Bell II was part of a family group that put together the real estate package on Cape Bay Estate in 1949. It was about 300 acres in size and offers nice views of the seaside. 

Sadly, Bell didn't get much of a chance to enjoy the scenery.  He passed away less than a year later at the age of 33.

Some years later, the new owners of the property - the N.V. Bell Realty Corporation - decided to honor Mr. Bell with a statue. He has a great perpetual view, and he guards the trail up to the main lookout. 

The tourists buses show a bit of courage by pulling over to the side of a crowded, narrow row so that visitors can take a very worthwhile look. Here's the view. Be sure to look both ways in the area.
