Georgetown, nestled on Ascension Island's west coast, is the capital and heart of this remote British Overseas Territory. Founded in 1815 by the Royal Navy, it was named after King George III.

This small town offers a glimpse into island life. Visit St. Mary's Church, an Anglican landmark, or explore the Ascension Island Heritage Society Museum to delve into the island's history and its significance in telecommunications. Witness the annual Dew Pond Race, a challenging run from Georgetown to Green Mountain's peak. If you're lucky, you might even spot hundreds of green turtles nesting on nearby beaches during summer. While nightlife options are limited, explore local eateries and soak up the unique charm of this island town.
