The Settlement of New Plymouth 
Located on the south end of the island, the village of New Plymouth (population 500) is the first designated historical landmark in the out-islands of the Bahamas. It is a picturesque, prosperous town settled after the Revolutionary War by British Loyalists from New York and the Carolinas. You will admire its sense of tradition and pride, and will find here a range of supplies and services, from sundries and souvenirs to clothing, shoes and foodstuffs.

Religious life continues to be a New Plymouth priority, with an abundance of quaint churches for worship. Several local drinking establishments offer refuge of another sort, along with the opportunity to mingle with local inhabitants.
