Andros Island - the out islands

At 2,300-square-miles, Andros is the largest and least-explored island in The Bahamas. Its waters, however, are well known to scuba divers and snorkelers, thanks to the second-largest reef in the Northern Hemisphere, and the island's standing as the bonefishing capital of the world.

Andros is actually a series of islands and cays connected by a series of canals called bights.

Andros is one of the biggest unexplored tracts of land in the Western Hemisphere. Mostly flat, its 2,300 square miles are riddled with lakes and creeks, and most of the local residents live along the shore. The main villages are Nicholl's Town, Andros Town, and Congo Town; all accessible by boat and plane connections from Nassau.

Andros Island draws thousands of visitors every year. Anglers come from all over the world to fish there. It is said to be "the bonefish capital of the world". Divers come to explore the great reef and all of its coral formations and marine life.
