Stella Maris..."Star of the Sea"

Relax in an elegantly casual Resort Club. The world is forgotten, time stands still. Accommodations are scattered through a palm grove, overlooking the Atlantic. Three pools dot our grounds and hidden Atlantic beach coves nestle in a panorama of tropical foliage and dramatic shorelines. Long Island embodies the old "Out Island" ways. Fishing and farming are the main industry. With plantation ruins, Indian caves, historic churches, salt salinas, fish farms and pineapple plantations to explore.
