Current conditions and forecast for planning your trip. Updated every 15 minutes.
Andros is the largest landmass in The Bahamas yet one of its most sparsely populated islands. Spanning more than 2,300 square miles of pine forests, mangrove creeks, and sun drenched flats, Andros offers a wilder, quieter, more elemental Bahamas experience than its polished neighbors to the east.
Andros Town International Airport (ICAO: MYAN) serves the central portion of the island with a paved runway capable of accommodating most light and midsize jets. Additional airports at San Andros (MYAS) and Congo Town (MYAK) serve the northern and southern reaches of this long, narrow island.
From Fort Lauderdale the flight clocks in at roughly 55 minutes. From Miami, expect around 50 minutes. The short hop places Andros within reach of a morning departure and a cast on the flats before lunch.
From legendary bonefishing flats to the third largest barrier reef on earth, Andros is the Bahamas at its most untouched.
Andros is revered among fly fishing enthusiasts as the bonefishing capital of the world. Its vast, protected flats and mangrove nurseries hold some of the largest and most prolific bonefish populations on earth. Lodges such as Andros South, Kamalame Cay, and Tranquility Hill cater to anglers seeking trophy fish in glassy shallows.
Stretching more than 190 miles along the eastern shore, the Andros Barrier Reef is the third largest on earth. Divers access walls that plunge over 6,000 feet into the Tongue of the Ocean, encountering eagle rays, reef sharks, and vibrant coral gardens within minutes of leaving shore.
Andros is dotted with more than 200 inland and oceanic blue holes, the highest concentration on the planet. Pair that with the Westside National Park and vast pine forests, and you have a destination where nature still rules.
Kamalame Cay is a private island resort on the east coast of Andros offering beachfront villas, a spa sitting on stilts over the water, and guided fishing for both guests and members. The cay operates its own private airstrip with a grass runway for light aircraft.
Andros South caters to serious anglers with well appointed rooms, expert guides, and easy access to the southern flats. Tiamo Resort, located on the south Andros coast, offers secluded sustainable luxury with private villas steps from a pristine beach.
Small Hope Bay Lodge provides a relaxed, family run base for divers and snorkelers with daily boat trips to the barrier reef and nearby blue holes.
