Located in the center of the Bahamas, Mangrove Island is a pristine island in the Great Exuma region known for its lush mangrove ecosystem and crystal clear shallow waters. The mangrove waterways that surround the island create a unique "tidal maze" that serves as a natural nursery for sea turtles, baby sharks and tropical fish.
The island is a popular destination for eco-tourism, where visitors can kayak through mangrove waterways, observe the endangered Bahamian rock iguana, or snorkel at Starfish Beach. Nearby, the famous Pig Beach is just a short boat ride away, where you can interact with swimming pigs. The coral reefs surrounding the island are well-preserved and ideal for scuba divers to explore.
Mangrove Island is accessible by boat via Exuma International Airport (GGT) and is maintained in a pristine natural state with no major resorts. The typical Bahamian tropical climate makes it suitable for year-round visitation, with peak season from December through April. Its unique mangrove ecosystem is of great value in maintaining regional marine biodiversity.
