Long Island

The appropriately named Long Island stretches for 93km (58 miles) and, despite a beautiful landscape -- there are high cliffs in the north, wide shallow beaches, historic plantation ruins, and native caves -- it has remained thoroughly off the beaten track. It's not always easy to get here; there are two minor airports with arrivals from Nassau, but flights do not occur daily. Both the Stella Maris Resort Club and the luxurious Cape Santa Maria Beach offer fishing and watersports.
