Lucayan National Park, Protected underwater cave system in East Grand Bahama, Bahamas.
The national park extends across 40 acres of land, featuring limestone caves, mangrove creeks, coral reefs, and Gold Rock Beach along the coast.
Archaeological discoveries in 1986 revealed skeletal remains of six indigenous Lucayans within the cave system, confirming pre-Columbian settlements in Grand Bahama.
The underground caves held great importance for Lucayan Indians who used these spaces for freshwater collection and ceremonial burial practices.
The park welcomes visitors daily from 9 AM to 4 PM, charging admission fees of $12 for adults and $6 for children under twelve years old.
Ben's Cave contains a rare hydrological structure where freshwater sits above saltwater, creating a specialized environment for marine life adaptation.
