About South Andros
South Andros is the southernmost district of Andros, the largest island in The Bahamas, and one of the country's most remote and nature-focused destinations. Much of the district remains covered by mangrove wetlands, pine forest and tidal creeks, while small settlements such as Kemps Bay, Congo Town and Deep Creek line the eastern coast.
Its greatest draw is the Andros Barrier Reef, the third-largest barrier reef in the world, which runs along the eastern shore and drops into the deep Tongue of the Ocean. Inland and ocean blue holes, underwater caves and extensive flats make the area a major destination for divers, snorkellers and bonefishing anglers.
Andros is widely known as the bonefishing capital of the world, and the flats of South Andros are among its most productive. Beyond fishing, visitors kayak through mangrove creeks, explore blue holes, birdwatch and relax at small eco-lodges such as Tiamo Resort.
South Andros has no large city or corporate district; daily life centres on fishing, small-scale farming and tourism. Travelers come mainly for seclusion, sport fishing, diving and ecotourism, while limited business activity is tied to hospitality and local enterprises. Access is through Congo Town Airport, with short flights from Nassau and charter connections.
