The Bahamas Islands are one more amazing than the other
Andros Bahamas is the largest island of the Bahamas. At the same time is the least densely populated of all the Bahamas; locals call the island the “Big Yard”.
The country of the Bahamas is an archipelago of 700 islands and keys located east of Florida, USA and stretching southeast to the north of the island of Hispaniola.
The island is roughly 2,300 sq mi, equivalent to 6,000 km2 and 40 mi or 64 km wide by 168 km or 140 mi long.
It is actually formed of three islands, North Andros, South Andros and Mangrove Cay.
The three major towns on the east coast of North Andros are Nicholls Town and Andros Town and Congo Town in South Andros.
The total population is about 10,000 mostly on the above mentioned towns.
The island features lush vegetation and pine forests that include Andros Pine and Mahogany, horseflesh and others.
The vegetation is crossed by many waterways carrying water from the many caves on the island.
This island supplies water to neighboring Nassau via a pumping station.
In this island is located the world’s third largest barrier reef, a heaven for Scuba Diving and Bahamas Snorkeling.
It has a drop-off of 6,000 foot leading to many blue holes. Many important underwater cave explorations have been performed here.
Bahamas Beaches are some of the most spectacular in the world where to spend some awesome vacations. We are going to mention just a few.
