Things To Do
Visit the historic settlement of New Plymouth, a quiet 18th century village by the sea, with its museums, sculpture garden, shops, restaurants and pastel-painted clapboard-covered gingerbread homes that remind one of a turn-of-the-century village of the New England coast. The Green Turtle Club provides daily complimentary transportation. Inquire at the front desk for arrangements. For more information on New Plymouth, click here.
Spend a day with the legendary Lincoln Jones and have a day of adventure and a delicious beach picnic at "Lincoln Park" on deserted Munjack Cay. You can snorkel and fish, and catch or spear your own lunch. Or just kick back and watch Lincoln and his son, Marcus, in action diving and spearing lobster and local fish. After swimming, snorkeling and fishing, get ready for a party on the beach. Lincoln will prepare all of the fresh catch for your lunch while you enjoy the rum punch! Ask the staff at The Green Turtle Club to make your reservations. For more information, visit www.lincolnsislands.com.
Go with Tom Sawyer on one of his Island Hopping trips. Every Sunday he will pick you up in his 31 ft Cat Limbo and take you to Guana Cay where you can experience Nippers fun filled BBQ and pool party or go and visit Hopetown and see the famous Candy Striped Lighthouse.
