Andros Island of the Bahamas.
As the largest and least-explored island in The Islands Of The Bahamas,
Andros offers a wide variety of activities for just about everyone. This
2,300-square-mile island paradise is not only known as the bonefishing
capital of the world, but also boasts the second-largest reef in the
Northern Hemisphere and is home to the oldest dive resort on the planet.
Whether diving or snorkeling, the average year-round 80°F temperature of
the crystal clear, blue waters makes discovering the abundant marine
wildlife surrounding Andros Island a magical treat you’ll never forget.
The diverse topography which rises from these tropical waters is full of
life, some of which can only be found on Andros. Over forty kinds of
wild orchids, rare, endemic birds, wild boar, iguanas as long as four
feet and a recently discovered tribal group all make their homes among
the miles of deserted beaches, freshwater mud flats, thick brush, lush
pine forests and inland waterways that make up this Atlantic oasis. It
is even said to be the home of pirate Henry Morgan’s buried treasure and
two mythical creatures -- the chickcharnies and Lusca.
Sharing this magical island are the locals, or Androsians. These
peaceful people pride themselves as skilled artists and craftsmen whose
origins are believed to date back to the Seminole Indians, runaway
slaves from Florida and an ethnic mix of different people from Africa to
South America.
The people of Andros invite you to visit their tropical island home.
Whether you seek challenging water sports or are in search of magical
discoveries, Andros is the island for adventurers and eco-tourists
alike.
