Long Island, Atlantic island district in The Bahamas
Long Island is a district on the Bahamas with two contrasting coastlines: steep rocky cliffs facing the Atlantic on the eastern shore and soft sandy beaches on the western side. The terrain shifts between these distinct landscapes as you move across the island.
Columbus named the island Fernandina in 1492 during his first voyage to the Americas. Over the centuries, it became a settlement where fishing developed as the foundation of the community.
The residents work primarily in fishing and shape daily life with their traditional methods passed down through families. This way of living remains central to the community's rhythm and identity.
The island is reached by regular flights from Nassau to Deadman's Cay Airport or by boat services from nearby islands. Accommodations and restaurants are available in scattered locations, though infrastructure remains basic.
Near Clarence Town sits Dean's Blue Hole, one of the deepest underwater caves on earth. The hole draws experienced divers and nature watchers to explore its remarkable submarine features.
