What to do and see in Out Islands, Out Islands: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do
The Out Islands are synonymous with sport, from the depths of the Gulf Stream that yield big game fish to the coral reefs just off shore that are catnip to scuba divers. Sailing, kayaking and beach-combing add action to lazy days in the sun, while resident pink flamingos and rare Bahama parrots color local hikes.

An island in the Bahamas best known for its shark feeding dives.
Reviewed By MBullard - Rhode Island, United States
An amazing island; completely free of typical "tourist scene." If you love nature, this is the place to go. We would definitely go again. Tip for getting there and away: Learn from our mistake, DO NOT FLY SOUTHERNAIR CHARTER. Either use BahamasAir out of Stella Maris airport or pay for your own private charter. SouthernAir Charter cancels their flights and this is apparently a "known" thing. We didn't know this unfortunately. They canceled our return flight because they didn't sell enough tickets. As a result, we lost our last day of vacation as well as the money we'd paid for our rental house, and what should have been one 10-hour travel day home, was turned into two days of travel home with a nearly 24-hr stay on Nassau (a place we never wanted to go).

We had no idea whatcto expect and we were pleasantly surprised. The Preserve is a class act with lots of educational opportunities or just a lovely walk through the Preserve. Everyone that visits the island of Eluethera should visit this Preserve. We spent 3 hours wondering the trails!

We warily made the trek to Lighthouse beach in our Nissan SUV after reading numerous reviews of the treacherous terrain/road to get there. We are so glad we made the journey to this breathtaking beach. It is everything the reviews say and more. Once the paved road ends it is about 3.5 miles on a single lane rock/sand/gravel road which takes care to navigate. You must have good ground clearance. Lighthouse bay this is the first thing you will see and where where we parked. Then it’s a short walk to lighthouse beach. You will need a 4x4 to make it up the hill and over to lighthouse beach but the walk is not difficult. The first thing you should do is walk the path up to the lighthouse and take in the view from the rock cliffs as you can see lighthouse beach (Atlantic side) and Lighthouse Bay (Bay side) from one viewpoint, it’s incredible. From there pick your spot and camp for the day. There are no facilities and make sure to take plenty of water.

Beautiful white sand beach. This island is owned by the cruise line. We were tendered here from our Holland America cruise ship. It makes for a nice relaxing day at the beach. They offer horseback riding on the beach and in the water for part of the ride, guided jet ski tours, kayaks, Hobie cats, water cycles, stand up paddle boards, snorkeling and stingray adventure. Barbecue lunch is very nice with plenty of shaded seating. There is a bar on the beach. Beach has plenty of free longe chairs. An awesome beach day.

This is possibly one of the most amazing places on earth. You can walk for miles and miles into the ocean and never get above your waist. My daughters had so much fun collecting sand dollars. It was a very peaceful and beautiful beach to relax the afternoon away.

A popular snorkel site, known for the colorful marine creatures that feed here.
Reviewed By J_Travel_Xpert - Tennessee, United States
Great fishing spot, but I probably wouldn’t swim because the current is really strong here. Drive past the ferry dock on the dirt road for a few minutes and fish anywhere on the side of the road. Had a grouper first cast!

A must do in South Andros. Our visit was organized through our resort Caerula Mar and guide was Barbara Jean. She’s full of facts, information and a great guide
