Island Holidays - Saint Helena
The remote South Atlantic island of St Helena is to get its long-debated airport. There have been mixed feelings about this news even among the "Saints", as the inhabitants of the island are known, but overall it is agreed that the new facility, due to open in 2010, will bring increased economic well-being to the people as well as making it easier for them to keep in touch with friends and family overseas.

Visit Saint Helena
St Helena seems to have a limited degree of what many European or American city dwellers might take for entertainment. By their standards one has a choice of video rental, picnicking (at one of many tables throughout the island), hiking and walking (see Ian Mathieson’s book, at 6.0, and that by Nick Phillips (also at 6.0), especially pp. 54-61), taking a swim in an Olympic-sized swimming pool, deep-sea diving, doing the pubs and bars scene (one has both rock and country music), and going boating or fishing. St Helena has no fresh water lake; Lot’s Wife Ponds near Sandy Bay is one swimming hole favoured by islanders, although it is not easily accessible; another is a volcanic beach at Lemon Valley Bay.

Real Travel - Saint Helena
This island in the south Atlantic Ocean is a small yet lush destination for travelers to enjoy. Snorkeling, diving and fishing are all possible on the shoreline, while tropical foliage offers pleasing sites inland.

Wikitravel - Saint Helena
Saint Helena Island is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. If you start crossing the Atlantic Ocean at the border between Namibia and Angola, Saint Helena Island will appear just less than half way to Brazil. As the most populous of the United Kingdom's territories in the South Atlantic, it governs the others: Ascension, Tristan da Cunha, Gough Island and their satellites.
