About Long Island


With 700 islands sprinkled out over 100,000 sq miles of some of the clearest Caribbean ocean, The Bahamas is one of the most diverse places in the world to discover.

It has a sub-tropical climate, friendly people and – according to astronauts – the clearest waters in the Caribbean region.

Situated approximately 290 miles from Ft. Lauderdale Florida and 145 miles from Nassau, Long island is a land of contrasts with pristine Caribbean beaches and rugged Atlantic coastline, clear blue waters, beautiful sub tropical climate and the most hospitable of locals.

At 80 miles long and a maximum of 4miles wide Long Island provides incredible views and proximity to both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

Long Is land is historically known to be one of Columbus’ early stops in 1492. In his log he described 150-foot high cliffs, waves crashing on eastern beaches, miles of uninterrupted white sand, and green foliage filling the air with “the scent of flowers and trees, delicious and sweet... the most delightful island in the world.”

The Bahamas is considered the best of all the Caribbean countries when it comes to bone-fishing, and with amazing scuba diving Long Island is a must for water enthusiasts and beach lovers alike.
