CBD

The Freeport's main visitor hub — restaurants, cafés, duty-free shops, hotels and bars packed into its smallest, densest district.

At 182 hectares, the Central Business District is one of the smallest districts in the zone and by far the densest. Restaurants, cafés, duty-free shops, hotels, bars and the waterfront promenade are all here, and most of it is walkable.

Waterfront Road is the CBD's bayside strip and the address of SBMA's own head office. It's also where the ferry to Grande Island picks up.
