Conception Island National Park, Protected maritime national park in central Bahamas archipelago.
Conception Island National Park encompasses 2,000 acres of mangrove communities, coral reefs, and tree-line vegetation across an uninhabited territory.
The island holds particular importance as one of the potential landing sites of Christopher Columbus during his first voyage to the Americas in 1492.
The Bahamas National Trust manages this protected area, implementing conservation programs for endangered species and maintaining natural habitats.
Access to the national park requires boat transportation, with the most suitable anchoring location situated in the north bay near West Cay.
The interior lagoon accommodates numerous green sea turtles and serves as a critical nesting ground for migratory seabirds throughout the year.
