an island holiday awaits...
Long Island, as the name suggests, is an 80 mile long island which is only 4 miles wide at its widest point. It features some natural attractions as well, the main being Dean's Hole, the deepest blue hole in the world at 60ft. With the island passing directly through the tropic of cancer it also has two very drastic coastlines with rugged cliffs on the Eastern side of the island and the more Bahama-like beaches on the western side.

By far the most famous natural attraction in Long Island is Dean's Blue hole, the deepest in the world but also the wildly different coastlines between the East and the West are an interesting natural experience.
