Several vehicle rental agencies in the Cruz Bay area rent a variety of vehicles, ranging from jeeps and mini sport utility vehicles to the larger sport utility vehicles. Although the standard left-hand driver’s position is found on all vehicles, driving is on the opposite side of the road, with vehicles keeping to the left at all times.  It must be noted that parking is limited at many Park sites as well as in the downtown Cruz Bay area.
Turpentine trees, locally called Gumbo Limbo are found throughout the Island, but mostly in dryer forest.  

Did You Know?
This unusual-looking tree found in dry forest areas has a reddish, peeling bark. The leaves and sap smell like turpentine and have many medicinal properties, but it is the peeling bark that gives the tree its nickname – "Tourist Tree".
