Williams Town Salt Beacon

23° 25.9′ N · 75° 34.0′ W

A weathered 18th-century Tuscan column standing alone on the ridge above Williams Town, raised to guide the salt ships in to the ponds below — still visible from well offshore.

Practical

Free, short walk up from the road. Exposed and hot — go early or late. Just above Santana's, so combine the two. The Hermitage plantation ruins are also on Little Exuma.
