Mayaguana
MAYAGUANA
The most easterly of The Islands of The Bahamas, Mayaguana is a bit of living history, still bearing the name given to it by its earliest inhabitants, the Lucayan Indians.
Nature lovers will find their bliss here; sea turtles nest on the undeveloped east coast, which overlooks the sparkling sapphire waters of the Atlantic Ocean. And birdwatchers can rejoice in 118 species of birds – including two large colonies of endearingly comical brown boobies and a flock of vivid pink-feathered flamingos at Black Wood Point.
You might even spot a hopping hutia – a rare creature, closely akin to the rabbit, which was believed extinct until one was discovered here in 1960. And with pristine coral reefs encircling Mayaguana, water babies will find there’s as much to see below the waves as above them.
