Lodging:
Pittstown Point is an ocean front resort with twelve island style rooms located on the
north west
corner of Crooked
Island. Each room has two double beds and a private
bath. All rooms and baths have been recently renovated. Air
conditioned rooms are available, but for those who enjoy the
ocean breeze, rooms available with ceiling fans. The hotel
looks out onto the beautiful Bird Rock Lighthouse, which was built in
1876. Pittstown was originally named after a cotton planter who set up his
plantation there. It then became the main settlement on Crooked Island
with mail being delivered to Pitt's Town by a regular service from
England. There are still remnants of these old settlements. The post
office still stands and is the kitchen at the hotel today. With Crooked
Island's incredible fishing, interesting history, beautiful beaches and water
the fisherman as well as the non-fisher have many activities to choose
from. The attentive staff at the hotel will help to
make your stay a delight. If you are interested in more detailed

Travel:
Bahamas Air services the island twice a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays from
Nassau. They land at Colonel Hill, a four thousand foot airstrip on the
southwest portion of the island. This is approximately 30 minutes via road
to Pittstown. The hotel will provide the transportation from the airport.
For a more convenient travel charter flights can also be arranged for you.
Pittstown Point has a private air strip which makes it ideal for private pilots as
well as charter flights.
Other Activities:
