Island
An explorer’s
delight will be stopping in at the Long
Island Museum to
brush up on the history, culture and customs
of the island. Delve into ancient plantation
ruins, converse with the friendly islanders
as you pass through their pretty little villages,
sight see and photograph historic cottages
and groupings of tiny pristine white and
bright blue Gothic churches at each settlement.
The old Dunmore Plantation and Hamilton’s
Cave will provide hours of satisfaction
and excitement for the consummate explorer
and
on the northernmost tip of the island where
a 15ft. tall stone obelisk memorial to
Christopher Columbus is erected, this area
provides some
stunning views and bright green exotic
seas with some of the best Caribbean snorkeling
and scuba diving around. Some of Long Island’s
best tropical beaches are the four grouped
pink sand Love Beaches located on the Atlantic
side east of the Stella Maris Airport.
There is a small shallow bay at one of
these perfect
for small children to frolic and play.
Just as alluring as its natural beauty,
the island’s offerings of exquisite
vacation accommodations provides a perfectly tropical and wonderful backdrop
for relaxation, rejuvenation and an indulgence of one’s taste for luxury.
Cape Santa Maria Beach Resort & Luxury Villas is a tropical oasis nestled
on the northern end of Long Island on Galliot Cay. Accommodations include twenty
beach front bungalows and a couple of beautiful villas each just steps from your
own secluded sandy beach. The Stella Maris Resort & Club is a combination
of thirty-two rooms, apartments, cottages, villas and now three bungalows on
Love beach (just a short distance for the main resort). Accommodations are attractively
scattered throughout a magnificent palm grove, overlooking the Atlantic. Chez
Pierre Bahamas Beach Cottages is another excellent choice for experiencing a
truly tropical island getaway. The resort is designed for untapped and pure enjoyment
of sun, sand and sea exuding an unpretentious ambience of serenity and romantic
sophistication of a bygone era. An escape to this island is an experience unlike
any other and one you are not likely to forget especially if you come down for
a little fun and frolic in the sun during May or June when the annual sailing
regatta is ‘kicking up’. I promise a ‘funtastic’ time!,
so call up your local travel agent today and just say, “Long Island,
Bahamas please!” |
