Tangier Island - A Beautiful Place to Visit


Tangier Island
Tangier Island is a remote island that was advertised on ESPN recently.
It is one of the smallest islands in the world with a population of only 700 residents, and the island itself is only 1 mile wide and 3 miles long. It has a long and colourful history.
Captain John Smith first visited in 1608 and in 1620 settlers arrived from Cornwall, England.
True Tangier Island people speak elizabethan english, and as it's steeped in history,
on arrival you can feel that you've stepped back in time. It's a beautiful place to visit as these
following images suggest.
