Hell's Gate, Saba

Hell's Gate is the first town one reaches on the Caribbean island of Saba in the Netherlands Antilles after leaving the Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport, the smallest commercial airport in the world. Hell's Gate is home to the Holy Rosary Church, a stone structure built in 1962, as well as a community center where visitors can purchase locally made Saba Lace, also called Spanish Lace, and Saba Spice, a locally produced and very potent spiced rum. Hell's Gate is about 1000 feet above sea level. Lower Hell's Gate is home to a now-closed sulfur mine where visitors may explore with caution.
