Discover Pomeroon-Supenaam

Pomeroon-Supenaam can be explored through several specific themes: the monuments in Anna Regina, the lake at Capoey, air access on the Essequibo Coast and the Lake Mainstay Regatta. These span different periods: historical events, an earlier tourism initiative and an expansion inaugurated in 2026. For planning, you can therefore consider local history, landscapes, event dates and accommodation as separate questions.

Access and Airstrip

On July 4, 2026, the modernized Anna Regina Airstrip in Mainstay/Whyaka, Region Two, was inaugurated. An investment of 221 million was reported for the modernization. The renovated runway is 2,000 feet long and 50 feet wide. The project was intended to strengthen air access, support tourism development and improve access for residents and businesses on the Essequibo Coast. A significant reduction in travel time between Region Two and Georgetown was expected. If your travel decision depends on a shorter connection, treat this as an expectation and check the specific travel options in advance.

Monuments and Local History

Anna Regina has two distinct historical points of reference. Damon’s Monument commemorates Damon, an African labourer who was executed on October 13, 1834, for his role in a protest against the Apprenticeship System. The East Indian Settlement Monument commemorates the first group of East Indian immigrants, who arrived in the region in May 1838 and were settled in Anna Regina. The dates are just over three and a half years apart and represent two themes: the history of protest and the arrival of a group of immigrants. If you plan to visit the monuments, check accessibility in advance.

Landscapes and Regatta

Capoey is home to one of the three largest lakes on the Essequibo Coast. In 2019, the government intended to develop a “Tri-lake experience” tourism destination there. Capoey thus combines a natural feature with a development concept tied to a specific time.

The 18th Lake Mainstay Regatta was also held in Pomeroon-Supenaam, attracting thousands of visitors. The edition number shows that it has been held multiple times; the visitor figure describes attendance at this event. If you want the regatta to determine when you travel, check the specific event dates.

Accommodation in Mainstay-Whyaka

New cabin accommodation is available in the village of Mainstay-Whyaka. If this type of accommodation suits you, include Mainstay-Whyaka in your search and check current availability before planning an overnight stay.

For your travel dates, the regatta and the cabins require two different checks: for the event, check the specific dates; for the accommodation, check current availability. The monuments provide a historical reference through the dates 1834 and 1838, while the regatta is an event-specific occasion. This makes it easier to distinguish historical themes, the event calendar and accommodation planning.
