Heritage Sites Named in Grand Bahama
The Ministry Of Tourism and Aviation has unveiled five new heritage sites in Grand Bahama. They are the Mermaid Pond in Lewis Yard, the Pinder’s Point Lighthouse, Hawksbill Creek, the boiling hole in Hepburn Town, and Fern Gully, and Josey Cave.
The Mermaid Pond can be heard sucking and blowing each time the tide ebbs and flows. The Pinder’s Point Lighthouse was built in the late 1700s to early 1800s. Hawksbill Creek is named after the now endangered turtle that use to frequent its waters. The boiling hole is known for how its waters swirl with the movement of the tide. The cave was where residents in the Holmes’ Rock community took refuge from a serious hurricane.
