Secluded beaches, the Bight of Acklins and a new adventure destination taking shape at Pestell Beach.
An island that still feels undiscovered
Acklins sits in the southern Bahamas with Crooked Island and Long Cay around the wide, shallow Bight of Acklins. It's quiet, unhurried and full of water the colour you came for.
What to do
Fish the flats with a local guide, snorkel empty reefs, visit Long Cay's historic settlement and the Castle Island lighthouse, and meet island communities that make the Out Islands what they are.
What's next
Skydive Bahamas Adventures is developing a beachfront adventure and aviation-tourism destination at Pestell Beach. Phase 1, the renovation of an existing two-storey building, is now under way.
