Flying Fish Cove

Flying Fish Cove

. Many maps simply label it "The Settlement." It was the first British settlement on the island, established in 1888.

About a third of the territory's total population lives in Flying Fish Cove. It is located in the northeast of the island; there is a small harbour which serves tourists with yachts, and an airfield some kilometers southeast from Flying Fish Cove. It is possible to dive at the settlement's beach.
