Local Attractions

Adderley's Plantation Ruins
Originally a cotton plantation, occupying all that land known as Stella Maris. The ruins consist of a group of three buildings, practically intact up to roof level.

Dunmore's Plantation Ruins
Situated on a hill, overlooking the sea on three sides, there remain six gate posts (four outer and two inner) and a house with two fireplaces and drawings of ships on the wall.

Gray's Plantation Ruins
There are ruins of at least three houses, one with two chimneys. One ruin is very large and the third seems to have had a cellar and one story.

Deadman's Cay Cave
The cave leads two ways: one tunnel leads to the ocean and has never been fully explored. There are two old Indian drawings on the wall, stalagmites and stalactites.

Dunmore's Cave
It was once lived in by Indians and used as occasional hide-aways by buccaneers.

Indian Caves
Because it is relatively close to Cuba, Long Island had at one time a dense population of Lucayan Indians that emigrated from the Caribbean. There are many archaeological fragments in numerous caves.

Cape Santa Maria
Located on the northern tip of the island, visitors can explore the lovely lagoon where Columbus first anchored and unspoiled miles of beach.

Historic Churches
Clarence Town is noted for its beautiful twin churches, located on two hilltops: St. Paul Anglican Church, and St. Peter Roman Catholic Church. Both were built by Father Jerome who designed the Anglican church first and, after his conversion to Catholicism, the Roman Catholic church.
