Pitcairn Island -. Adamstown

Adamstown is the only settlement on, and as such, the capital of, the Pitcairn Islands. The settlement is located on the central-north side of the island of Pitcairn, facing the Pacific Ocean and close to the Bounty Bay, the only seaport of the island.
Fletcher Christian (25 September 1764 – 20 September 1793) was master's mate on board HMS Bounty during Lieutenant William Bligh's voyage to Tahiti during 1787–1789 for breadfruit plants. In the mutiny on the Bounty, Christian seized command of the ship from Bligh on 28 April 1789
Christan´s Cave.

St. Paul's Rock Pools is next to Adams Rock and is located in Pitcairn. St. Paul's Rock Pools has a length of 0.23 kilometres. 

Bounty Bay is an embayment of the Pacific Ocean into Pitcairn Island.

Bounty Bay is named after the Bounty, a British naval vessel whose eighteenth century mutiny was immortalized in the novel Mutiny on the Bounty, and the numerous subsequent motion pictures made of it. The mutineers sailed the Bounty to Pitcairn Island and destroyed her by fire in Bounty Bay. Current Pitcairn Islanders are largely lineal descendants of the mutineers, as exhibited by some of their surnames.

Travellers to Pitcairn are usually brought in by longboat into Bounty Bay. 
Down Rope is a coastal area on the southeast coast of Pitcairn Island in the south Pacific, to the east of the Aute Valley and north of Break Jim Hip, it lies on the eastern side of an inlet and contains large petroglyphs on the rock face, testament to the Polynesian settlers of centuries ago. It is described as "a steep cliff located on the southern coast south of Ned Young's Ground, and west of St Paul's Point. At its foot, despite its perilous descent, is a popular picnic area and Pitcairn's only beach. The descent from the cliff top is said to be "spine chilling". There is anchorage at Down Rope and ignimbrite is also found in the vicinity
