North Point
North Point is a
gateway to exploring the volcanic island of Saint Helena, part of the British
Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha. Saint Helena is known for its dramatic
landscapes, with lush valleys contrasting against rugged cliffs. The island's highest point, Queen
Mary's Peak, towers at a staggering 2,062 meters (6,765 feet).
Ascend the famous Jacob's Ladder,
a 699-step staircase offering panoramic vistas of Jamestown and the surrounding
landscape. Delve into the island's history and culture at the St.
Helena Museum, or explore the life of Napoleon Bonaparte
at Longwood House, his exile residence. Hike through Diana's
Peak National Park, a haven for endemic plants and bird
species.
Shopping options on Saint Helena are limited, but Jamestown
offers locally crafted souvenirs and essentials. Wines marketed under the Bell
Stone brand are actually South African wines bottled and labeled on
St. Helena. For nightlife, Saint Helena
offers a relaxed atmosphere. Enjoy a delicious meal at a local restaurant, or
unwind with a drink at a cozy pub.
