Beaches and Parks
Beaches and Parks (Beaches)Inagua

The emerald and turquoise waters of The Bahamas archipelago naturally form breathtaking beaches. Seclusion. Activity. Countless meandering miles of sand, white or pink. Where ocean meets land here, the possible rewards are genuinely endless.

Beaches and Parks (Birding)Inagua

More than 80,000 West Indian Flamingos, national bird of The Bahamas, reside in the Inagua National Park, which makes up almost half of Great Inagua Island. In the 1950's it was thought that the West Indian Flamingo might become extinct in The Bahamas because their numbers were so few and were still declining. With the help of the National Audubon Society in the United States, the creation of the Bahamas National Trust and the appointment of park wardens, the Inagua population has grown.

Flamingos are still an endangered species, even though their numbers are now impressive. It is illegal to harm or capture this bird under the Bahamas Wild Bird (Protection) Act. The Convention on the International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES) lists the West Indian Flamingo in Appendix H, which means that they are threatened and stand to become endangered. During late summer, autumn and winter the Flamingos fly off to Cuba, Hispaniola and the northern Bahama islands of Abaco and Andros.

Bahama Parrots can also be found on Great Inagua. But, unlike their Abaco cousins, they live in the coppice areas, nesting in cavities in large, hollow Lignum vitae, Mahogany and Black Mangrove trees. Other exotic birds on the island include pelicans, herons, egrets, and Bahama pintail ducks.

Bahamian Rock Iguana
Beaches and Parks (Ecotourism)Inagua

The Bahamian Rock Iguana (or large lizard), from which Inagua gets its name, is quite prevalent in these islands. They are usually some shade of brown, most are two and a half to three feet long, and they can live for up to forty years. There are three known species -- Cyclura cychlura, Cyclura carinata, and Cyclura rileyi -- and seven subspecies of Rock Iguanas in The Bahamas. Subspecies of Rock iguanas are found on Andros, San Salvador, Acklins, Mayaguana, and in the Exuma Cays. All rock iguanas in The Bahamas are protected by the Wild Animals (Protection) Act. At present, The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists all Bahamian populations of rock iguanas as "rare." The Convention for International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) list the rock iguana in Appendix I meaning the species is near extinction or very endangered. All international trade is prohibited among CITES signatory nations.

Little Inagua
Beaches and ParksInagua

Little Inagua, designated a National Park by the Bahamas Government in 2002, is the largest uninhabited island in the Wider Caribbean and exists in a REMOTE, natural undisturbed state. It is a documented nesting location for critically endangered sea turtle species. Its surrounding waters contribute to the supply of fisheries eggs, larvae, and sub-adults that are swept into the remaining Bahamian marine territory. Park designation includes the marine area to 100 fathoms, increasing the percentage of marine ecosystem under protection for fisheries replenishment purposes. Approximate area: 31,000 acres (not including marine area).
