Overview to The Out Islands of the Bahamas

Have you ever wondered how to find your own private/secluded island paradise? Looking for someplace quiet, remote, unspoiled, but in easy reach of civilization? This is it!


Cat Island

The island spine is a 50-mile-long fossilized coral reef which reaches a height of 206 feet at Mt. Alvernia, making it the highest point in The Bahamas. One of the best charms about this lush, hilly and unspoiled island is the isolation it can provide for honeymooners and modern-day Robinson Crusoe types who are searching for the perfect getaway.

Located about 130 miles southeast of Nassau.


Crooked Island / Acklins Island

This pair of adjoining but undeveloped islands are one of the most remote spots in the Bahamas. They are located about 240 miles southeast of Nassau. Surrounded by miles of virgin barrier reef, this location is ideal for divers, snorkelers and bonefishers.

There are two landmark lighthouses; Bird Rock Lighthouse in the north and and Castle Island Lighthouse at the southern tip of Acklins Island.

Inagua Island

Inagua Island is the third largest island in The Bahamas. It is best known for its large flocks of shy pink flamingos which reside in the Islands' vast national park. Over 60,000 alone live in the Bahamas National Trust Reserve.

Other wildlife on the island are herds of wild donkeys, flocks of the rare Bahamian parrot, and also herons, egrets, owls, cormorants and many other bird species. Avid bird-watchers makeup the majority of tourists who undertake the long trip to this the southernmost of the Bahamas Islands.

This island's unusual climate, consisting of little rainfall but continual trade winds, has resulted in rich and profitable salt ponds. The Morton Salt Company harvests over a million tons of salt annually.

The only inhabited town here is Matthew Town.

Long Island

This 80-mile long narrow island is a scene in contrasts. The western coast has soft sandy beaches, but the eastern side consists of dramatic rocky cliffs. Some 35 villages are strewn along the way.

The biggest event here is the Long Island Sailing Regetta featuring Bahamian-made boats. Held in May/June at Salt Pond with contestents coming from all across the islands.


San Salvador

The small island lays claim in history to being the sight of first landfall in the Americas by Cristopher Columbus in Oct 12, 1492. A marker at Fernandez Bay commemorates the event.
