Andros Island, Bahamas

by coneyislandgreen - last update: Apr 20, 2007

Andros Island is not a tourist destination in a sense. It's more for the native Bahamians a place to live and for the occasional adventurous tourist a place to fish or scuba. It hails itself as the bone fishing capital of the world and also has the third largest barrier reef as well. While the other islands bank on heavy tourism Andros island ships them fresh water from it's vast inland.
The largest and least explored of all the Bahamas when you land you feel a slowness of character after the aerial view of a unexplored vastness. The landing strip is small, the international arrival building is also a small yellow room and although there are plenty of places to eat and drink they are probably someones house who will treat it as a pub if it means some extra money. There is not much money on Andros but the untouched beaches and normal everyday people, about 9,000, on the island make it a unique and rewarding place to be in the world.
Andros is blessed with natural wonders. A blue hole, many are sometimes shallow and blue or deep and green. They are formed from sinking sand and the coral life conitnues to thrive in them even inland because Andros is so shallow it was once under the water. Most life is on the east coast of Andros and much of it is untouched leaving pristine place to seek and find. There are nice family owned motels and lodges for anyone visiting Andros and the food from anyone of the locals places is fantastic like their conk fritters, a big snail from a conk shell dipped in spicy batter and fryed into puffy breads rounds.
