Two Boats is a village at the foot of Green Mountain, Ascension Island, about 3 miles (4.8 km) from Wideawake Airfield. With slightly over 120 inhabitants, its the second largest settlement on the island.

History

The two boats were originally placed to provide shade for Royal Marines transporting water in the 19th century. This is why it has that name.

Main sights

Two Boats is also the site of the Two Boats Club (bar and snackbar with regular live music), a large fresh water swimming pool, children's playground, and Two Boats School, the island's only school.
