About Long Island

Only 80 miles long and 4 miles wide, Long Island is one of the most scenic hideaways in The Islands of the Bahamas, and is famous for its world-class scuba diving and bonefishing. The island is divided by the Tropic of Cancer and bordered on each side by contrasting coasts - one with a soft white beach, and the other with rocky headlands that descend into the sea, forming boundaries for the crashing waves. The topography of the island varies as well - from sloping hills in the north east, to low hillsides in the south, to stark white flatlands, to swampland, to pristine beaches... all of which combine to create a picturesque landscape and a haven for sailors, sun-worshippers and holidaymakers alike.
