We usually leave Leverick in the morning and have breakfast at the baths and a snack or lunch at Hog Heaven.
If you bring your permit, you don't need to pay at the baths.
Copper Mine point is worth a visit - pretty cool spot - great for pictures. There's a number of spots to use the drinking man's guide too. And just the drive from Leverick to the Baths and back are a highlight. If you are planning on leaving from Leverick, I'd recommend spending two nights and doing dinner at Coco Maya. There's a number of other good spots too.

Manpot said: I love a cold one at " Mermaids" next to " Coco Maya" and highly recommend dinner at "The Restaurant"..upstairs at Leverick.. I second 'Mermaids'...even for lunch. It's a hidden gem. Great food - very often fresh fish and lobster. Great conversation if you care to chat with some of the locals who hang there. One showed me the entrance to a secret tunnel used in colonial times....which shall remain secret. I know that Coco Maya is 'de rigueur', but I find it really pretentious, and quite pricey.

Was at Coco Maya mid February. Definitely a laid back, comfortable feel. I heard that there had been some changes in recent months, apparently for the better.
My foot fits right into my shoe and my shoe will fit right into your...

We always enjoy a light lunch at Top of the Baths. The view is so beautiful there. We visited Hog Heaven several times on our last trip and consider it a must-do. The view is spectacular there and the people who run the place were very friendly.
On our last trip, we hiked to Gorda Peak for the first time. There are 2 routes - one is longer than the other. We took the longer, not as steep route. (Its the first entry point you come to when driving from The Valley to Leverick.) It was an awesome hike and not very difficult. Saw lots of butterflies in the woods. The view from the top is amazing. It was a clear day and we could see all the way to Anegada. Well worth the hike. We were there in October, so it wasn't too humid, but still a hot hike. We took lots of water and had icy cold drinks in the cooler in the car for when we finished the hike.
We got carry-out from Bath and Turtle several times and took it back to our villa so we could enjoy our beautiful porch and view. Everything we had from there was delicious and the salads were very fresh. Their chicken curry was especially good and it was nice you could order a small portion.
