　　Backed by the pines and low scrub of Columbus Landfall National Park and adorned by the picturesque (or ugly, depending on your view) iron hulk of a beached ship, Governor's Beach is a lovely place for a relatively quiet dip. It's also a scene of celebration, during events like October's Lobster Festival.

Must-see attractions

Grace Bay Beach

　　Several kilometers long – the frequently boasted '12 miles' (19km) only applies if you measure the entire northern coast of Provo, which is, admittedly, one unbroken beach – this world-famous stretch of coast is powdered with white sand and close enough to the reef wall to see the Atlantic breakers....

　　Grace Bay Beach in Provo may get all the accolades, but 5km-long North Bay beach is every bit as stunning – just without the resorts or people. You can easily spend an afternoon lazing on the fine white sands and swimming in aquamarine waters without encountering another soul. ...

Wade's Green Plantation

　　Granted to Loyalist Wade Stubbs by King George III in 1789 as compensation for the loss of his Florida estate, this cotton and sisal plantation struggled on until 1814, when hurricanes, boll weevils and the harsh climate led Stubbs to abandon both the estate and his slaves. Quickly claimed by...

Chalk Sound National Park

Columbus Landfall National Park

　　This scrubby patch of shorefront, most popular with mosquitoes, commemorates Columbus' putative landing on the island in 1492. The park extends out into the water to encompass its true treasure: the reef and 7000ft wall beloved of divers. ...

　　Standing on a bluff high above the notorious northeast reef, wrecker of many ships and nearly of the salt industry (cargo ships began to balk at the danger, demanding greater safety), this iron lighthouse was cast in England in 1852 and assembled in situ. The views out to sea are...

Turk's Head Brewery

　　TCI's only brewery produces six excellent varieties, including the strong IPA 'Down Da Road' and a seasonal stout. Brewery tours are a popular way to see the process and taste a paddle of beers, but you can also visit the tap room and sample the brews outside tour times. ...
