South Andros

South Andros is an administrative district spanning the southern portion of Andros Island in The Bahamas, where small islands and cays are linked by extensive mangrove systems. The landscape consists of shallow waterways with natural channels weaving between the islets.

The area was inhabited by the Lucayan people, whose presence left archaeological traces including artifacts found in the Stargate Blue Hole. These discoveries show that the region supported human settlement long before European contact.

Local communities here practice traditional fishing and maintain deep knowledge of the waters and marine life that surround them. These ways of life shape how people spend their days and interact with the sea.

The district is accessible by small aircraft landing at Congo Town Airport or by boat through the channels connecting the islands. Travel here is best planned for the dry season when weather conditions are more stable.

The district contains numerous inland blue holes, which are natural sinkholes filled with fresh water and connected to underground cave systems. These formations reveal layers of geological history shaped by water over thousands of years.
