Monument Hill, Stocking Island
23° 31.8′ N · 75° 45.9′ W
A restored stone navigation beacon from the 1800s salt trade on the highest point of Stocking Island, with 360-degree views over Elizabeth Harbour one way and Exuma Sound the other — and hundreds of boat names spelled out in stones below.
Practical
Free, no booking. About an hour each way from St. Francis, much shorter from Monument Beach. Well-marked trails with benches. Watch for poisonwood, which raises a poison-ivy-like rash.
