The largest "island" in the Bahamas, Andros is actually a chain of islands and cays located west of Nassau and Paradise Island that's connected by a series of canals called bights. With its rich marine life and beautiful, Bahamian blue waters, Andros attracts divers and fishing enthusiasts as well as casual sightseers.
DIVING AND WATER SPORTS
The world's third-largest barrier reef lies just offshore, and divers come from all over the world to explore it. The reef plunges 6,000 feet to a narrow drop-off known as the Tongue of the Ocean. The island also offers a vast array of Blue Holes for the experienced diver. Bonefishing here is among the best on earth, and Andros is also known for its world-class marlin and Bluefin tuna fishing.
WHAT TO DO
Sailing
Charter a boat and explore the easily accessible eastern side of Andros alone, or hook up with one of the nearby marinas for guided snorkeling and diving excursions in the crystal blue waters around Andros and the other Out Islands.
