Chocolate Hole Scenic Stop
Chocolate Hole is a quick south-shore viewpoint and route stop just east of Cruz Bay, where the road curves through residential hills and opens toward the bay and nearby cays. It is not a traditional beach or staffed attraction; the value is the pause, the coastal view, and the way it fits between Cruz Bay, Great Cruz Bay, Hart Bay, and the south-shore road. Treat it as a short scenic stop with limited roadside space, not a destination that needs a long visit.

Where it fits
The setting and how to plan for it
Chocolate Hole makes sense as part of a Cruz Bay route, not as a standalone attraction. The coastal road threads through residential hills and south-shore bays, giving you a natural scenic pause before continuing toward Hart Bay, Rendezvous Bay, or the island's North Shore. Because the stop is small and roadside, a driver who knows the road is more useful than building a precise arrival time around it.
