The town of New Plymouth was originally settled in 1786 by Loyalists to the British Crown seeking a new place to live after the United States' Revolutionary War. This historic town is located on the southern end of Green Turtle Cay and is accessible by foot or by golf cart. It is just a 5 minute golf cart ride from Long Bay House and Cottage or a 15 minute stroll.
In New Plymouth you will find homes dating back to 1800. Pick up a copy of the Architectural Walking Tour booklet for a wonderful self-guided tour of Historic New Plymouth. Don't miss the Albert Lowe Museum, the Memorial Sculpture Garden or the Captain Roland Roberts House which is now an environmental center run by Reef Relief of Key West. Key West is New Plymouth's sister city.
New Plymouth is also where you will find the grocery stores, many restaurants and bars as well as the Cay's only liquor store.

The waters off of Green Turtle Cay are some of the prettiest you will ever see. The Cay has an array of reefs that run parrallel to the entire length of the island. In many places there are inner, middle and outer reefs, all within a mile of the house. You can swim right off Long Bay Beach, but if you prefer to explore the reefs, you have several options. You can rent a boat and go diving on your own, or if you prefer a guide for snorkeling or scuba diving, you can contact Green Turtle Cay's renowned divemaster, Brendal Stevens. You can check out his website at www.brendal.com.
