Long Island is one of the most scenic and dramatic of the Bahamian out islands, a long, slender isle where rugged cliffs, powder-white beaches and clear turquoise water combine in spectacular fashion. Unspoilt and beautifully varied, it offers some of the most striking coastal scenery in the entire Bahamas.
The island is famous for its dramatic contrasts, from the sheltered turquoise shallows and endless white beaches of the west coast to the wild, cliff-lined Atlantic shore in the east. It is also home to Dean’s Blue Hole, the deepest known blue hole in the world, a breathtaking natural wonder and a mecca for divers and free-divers.
Long Island’s clear waters and vibrant reefs offer superb swimming, snorkelling and diving, while quiet settlements, historic churches and traditional farms reflect a gentle, authentic way of life. Beautiful coves and sheltered anchorages line its varied coast.
Ashore, the island offers fresh seafood, warm hospitality and a genuine taste of out island life, far from any crowds. Its dramatic beauty and tranquillity are exceptional.
With its towering cliffs, powder beaches and record-breaking blue hole, Long Island is a dramatic jewel of the Bahamas. Guests can marvel at Dean’s Blue Hole, relax on empty beaches and enjoy the striking scenery and unspoilt charm of this beautiful island.
