Introducing The Bottom

The Bottom is Saba’s official capital, and houses the island’s administrative and governmental buildings. The police station is located here (not that the island has any crime); the large bell in the front yard was rung every hour on the hour until the 1990s.

Today, the Bottom is largely the domain of students studying at Saba Medical College, an accredited university offering the first 2½ years of medical education in a course that is on par with those offered at US or Canadian medical schools. The 400 students give the island some much-appreciated revenue. Snoop around the village for cheap eats as prices are slashed for the thrifty wannabe doctors.
