Saba is not your run-of-the-mill Caribbean island: there are no sandy beaches (well, a seasonal beach in some years), no casinos, no marinas, only a small harbor and a 1,300 ft (400 m) runway that accommodates short take off and landing (STOL) aircraft. But that's just a small price you pay for being in paradise, because there are plenty of assets that offset these limitations, such as the cleanliness of the island, the safety, the spotlessly maintained quaint red-white-and-green Saban homes, the beautiful gardens, the old agricultural plots, the lush vegetation, and perhaps most of all the people of Saba who are curious, hospitable, inviting and entertaining. While Saba is developing like every other place on the globe, such development has been modest and slow-paced and has not affected the unique character of the island. Hence Saba continues to proudly bear its name of "Unspoiled Queen".
