Located on the southern tip of Long Island, Bahamas, Clarence Town is the main settlement and administrative center of the island. This quiet seaside town is known for its historic St. Paul's and St. Peter's churches, both designed and built in the early 1900's by British missionary and architect Father Jerome, whose distinctive twin towers have become landmarks.
Nestled where the turquoise Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, the town of Clarence boasts pristine white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. The surrounding waters are famous for diving, notably Dean's Blue Hole - one of the world's deepest marine blue holes at 202 meters, attracting freedivers and marine researchers.
The local economy is based on fishing, small-scale agriculture and tourism. With less than a thousand inhabitants, it retains a simple, traditional Bahamian pace of life. Visitors can experience fishing, sailing or fresh seafood and enjoy the island culture away from the hustle and bustle. The town's simple amenities, with a small airport, marina and family-run hotels, make it an ideal destination for those seeking a pristine getaway.
