Central Andros

As you head south in Central Andros, pine forests and later scrubby vegetation give way to hardwood hammocks. Coved beaches scallop the eastern shoreline while the famed West Side is riddled with mangrove estuaries rich with marine life, including lobster and bonefish. Pleasing Behring Point, at the end of Queen's Highway, fronts Northern Bight, another bonefish sweet spot. Nice homes with flowering gardens, palm trees, and sea grapes overlook the bight along Coakley Street. Several fishing guides in this area have started up their own small fishing lodges. Guesthouse-style, they often include all-day fishing and meals.
