Places of interest:

Farm
Situated in West Bay,
there are approximately 16,000 "residents".
Now in its 30th year, the farm offers visitors
the opportunity to leisurely view the workings
of an actual operating farm. For a great photo
opportunity, a selected group of turtles are
set aside to touch and hold.
Hell
A quarter of an acre
of exposed black ironshore. Stop by the local
post office to send your family an authentic "postcard
from Hell".

Located along the South
of the island, this natural phenomenon created
by centuries of erosion in the ironshore, produces
