Long Island is one of the earliest islands to be inhabited and is renowned for Dean’s Blue Hole located near the island’s main settlement, Clarence Town. Dean’s is the deepest blue hole in The Bahamas and second deepest in the world.

Having a reputation for agriculture and animal husbandry, Long Island natives have mastered mutton farming. They are famed for their mutton recipes and Long Island mutton is in high demand all around The Bahamas. The island even hosts a mutton festival, usually in March, where people come from throughout The Bahamas to eat their favorite mutton recipes.
