Balfour Town



Balfour Town is a historic place that boasts various old two-story homes with wide verandas and windows with jalousies. The most striking building in town is the stately salt-merchant's manor known as the White House. It was built in 1835 using ballast stone that was used by the empty ships that arrived from Europe to stay balanced. The ships returned with a load of salt and the ballast stones where left behind. Next to the White House is the old wooden Treasury Building. It used to be the place, where salt-workers where paid. Also in the vicinity are Saint John's Anglican Church and the District Commissioner's Office, which houses the town's jail.

Balfour Town has some excellent beaches, as well as several hotel and restaurants. Balfour is on Salt Cay, 20 km southwest of Cockburn Town.
