Although it is the largest of the islands in the Bahamas, Andros is not very well known. But it should be. The island holds many natural treasures and offers the perfect escape to those who look to relax on the beach, enjoy a bit of fishing, or explore the ocean. Andros is home to the third largest barrier reef in the world, is the “Bonefishing Capital of the World,” and is home to the highest concentration of blue holes in the world.

Part of the twin island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbuda is the less-developed of the two. What it lacks in development, it makes up for in natural beauty. Barbuda is a conservationist’s heaven, home to the Frigate Bird Sanctuary, miles of unspoiled beach, and loads of sea life. We also visited a private island off of Antigua, Jumby Bay, home to a Rosewood resort and private homes to get away from it all.

Anguilla is located at the northern end of the Leeward Islands chain in the Eastern Caribbean, a short 25-minute boat ride north of St. Martin. It is 17 miles long and 3 miles wide. You won’t see any mountains or rainforest on Anguilla, as it is largely coral and limestone with limited vegetation. However, what it lacks in elevation, it makes up in gorgeous turquoise waters and stunning beaches. For more about Anguilla, check out our sister site, My Irie Time!
