Overview
Watling's Castle, the ruins of a late 18th century Loyalist plantation house, was named after George Watling, a buccaneer who frequented the place. The substantial ruins at Sandy Point, including the three storey Great House, kitchen, slave quarters, barns and boundary walls, were studied by the Bahamian Field Station. The Lookout Tower, which overlooks French Bay, has been restored.
