Andros island

Andros is a large island being the closest one to the west of Nassau, Bahamas. In fact, it is a group of islands and islets. But still it is considered to be one island. Its beaches are bad. Since most of Andros' beaches are faced to the east, thus suffering from algae - especially in summer. So most of tourists visit it for ocean fishing. Since there are many sandy shallows, Andros is also the most interesting spot in Bahamas for an island hopping. Anyway, this is a great relaxed island, but almost without good beach holiday. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]

In the Andros hotels, rooms' fares range from US$200 to US$500 per night. It's quite typical for Bahamas. There are no big branded resorts. While most of available accommodation options are more like luxury guesthouses focused on fishing and different kind of boat tours.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Nassau international airport (NAS). Next make a domestic flight to South Andros Airport (TZN), or fly to San Andros airport (SAQ), or fly to Andros Town airport (ASD).

When to go [edit]

The best time to travel to Andros island is a dry season in the winter half of the year. However, the summer is also good. Since sea water is much warmer, and there are no crowds of tourists.
