Acklins and Crooked Island are among the most remote and unspoilt of all the Bahamian out islands, a pair of beautiful, sparsely inhabited isles encircling a vast shallow lagoon in the far south of the archipelago. Pristine, peaceful and rich in marine life, they offer a rare taste of the Bahamas at their wildest and most natural.
The islands are ringed by miles of empty white beaches, vibrant coral reefs and the great Bight of Acklins, a shallow turquoise lagoon renowned as one of the finest bonefishing grounds in the world. Their clear, unspoilt waters are superb for diving, snorkelling and fishing, far from any crowds.
Once a centre of the sponge trade, the islands today are home to only a few small settlements and historic ruins, offering a profound sense of peace and space. Beautiful coves and sheltered anchorages line their pristine coasts.
Ashore, a scattering of friendly settlements offers fresh seafood and warm hospitality, along with a genuinely authentic taste of out island life. Their remoteness and natural beauty are exceptional.
With their pristine reefs, empty beaches and world-class fishing, Acklins and Crooked Island are a wild jewel of the southern Bahamas. Guests can fish superb flats, snorkel vibrant reefs and enjoy the profound peace and unspoilt beauty of these remote islands.
