The Tongue Of The Ocean, a shelf located seventy feet deep and plunges straight down over six thousand feet, is part of the worlds third largest barrier reef, and can be explored a mile out from the island. When Freeport was founded, this roadway was left to nature and the five mile nature walk goes past what is left of The Hermitage, the oldest woven mattress fabric intact building on the island.
