Rock Sound, also known as New Portsmouth, is about an hour south of Governors Harbour. It is the largest township on the island and also boasts the largest shopping center on the island - with a bank and an ATM that sometimes works. The township also has medical facilities, gas station, pharmacy, marina, restaurants, and Rock Sound Hardware. There is a large bay and beach nearby and an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones golf course further south at Cotton Bay. Bahamian colors can be seen everywhere on buildings and shops. Check out the largest church in town - beautiful St. Luke's Anglican Church by the sea. One of the nicest places to eat is Northside Restaurant located down Ocean Hole Road. Its got a marvelous view of the Atlantic. On the south side of Rock Sound, on the way to Northside, stop and see the famous Ocean Hole. It's an inland saltwater lake that has caves boring under the Caribbean.
