Why go
For adults interested in local livelihoods and food culture, this sequence links Simpson Bay's fishing heritage with a contemporary distillery visit in nearby Cole Bay. Look at Mary Star of the Sea Church from the roadside, then visit the fishermen's monument at Simpson Bay Fish Market; fish sales are not guaranteed. Kim Sha Beach provides a longer coastal pause before Topper's Rhum Distillery. Confirm the tour departure first and adjust your start around it. The short walking allowances are estimates, with public access and safe roadside connections to check locally. Arrange your return before tasting, and leave driving to someone who has not been drinking.
