Long Island District Essentials

Long Island is defined by its contrasting coastlines, featuring rugged Atlantic cliffs and calm Caribbean-side beaches. This list includes Dean’s Blue Hole, the world’s second-deepest saltwater sinkhole at 202 meters, and the Columbus Monument at the island’s northern tip, marking the 1492 landfall. The region’s history is visible in the Lucayan artifacts of Hamilton’s Cave and the pirate-linked caverns of Deadman's Cay. Coastal landmarks range from the white sands of Cape Santa Maria to the geographic Tropic of Cancer marker.
