Three-quarters of the island's inhabitants live in Road Town, either downtown, along its environs or in the hills above. The harbour has over the centuries provided shelter for fleets of Dutch, French, Spanish and English ships. Today, cruise ships, yachts and ferries fill the bay, unloading their cargo of tourists into the town's bustling and traffic-packed maze of streets. Road Town's sights are all low-key but they're fairly close together and the streets and waterfront have a buzz all of their own with fishing boats unloading their haul and cruise ships docking. Most sights of interest, including the Folk Museum and Botanic Garden , together with the majority of shops and restaurants can be found on the two principal thoroughfares - historic Main Street and the more touristy Waterfront Drive - which run parallel to the water.
