Mayaguana
More Isolated and Undeveloped Than Any Other Island
- Beaches
- Fishing
Mayaguana Bahamas is one of our planet’s most undiscovered gems. With no more than 400 inhabitants, this island remains almost untouched – boasting footprint-free beaches and a perfect underwater world.
The underwater world on Mayaguana is vibrant and pristine, just as you’d imagine. Dive offshore reefs, breathtaking walls and drop-offs. Even a cave system. Just offshore, there is a small islet – Booby Cay – where countless brown boobies call it home. It’s also the natural habitat for small rock iguanas, and wild goats left behind by early settlers.
Here, everything is untouched. For those looking for something a little out of the ordinary, this is it!
