Holetown
Where the English first landed and settled in 1627, Holetown is now the shopping and dining hub of the west coast's Platinum Coast.
Holetown is where English settlers first landed in 1627, and a monument in the town marks the spot. Beside it stands St. James Parish Church, one of the oldest churches on the island. Today Holetown is the centre of the west coast's luxury resort area. Limegrove Lifestyle Centre houses boutiques, Second Street is lined with bars and restaurants, and in the evening you can watch the sunset from the beach. The waters nearby are calm, ideal for snorkelling and stand-up paddleboarding, and every February the Holetown Festival commemorates the landing.
