Lighthouse Point, Peninsula in South Abaco, Bahamas.
Lighthouse Point is a peninsula in South Abaco that juts into turquoise waters with curved sandy beaches fringing its edges and tropical vegetation covering the inland areas. The landform creates protected coves and shallow waters along its coastline, shaped by natural dunes and coastal plant growth.
The peninsula remained largely undeveloped and in its natural state for centuries as part of the Bahamian landscape. In 2019, major ownership changes brought plans to develop it for cruise ship operations and tourism infrastructure.
The development integrates Bahamian architectural elements and local traditions while creating employment opportunities for residents of South Eleuthera and neighboring communities.
Access to the site is primarily through organized cruise ship visits, so visitors cannot arrive independently by car or boat. Basic amenities like food services and beach facilities are available, though specific offerings may vary by visit date.
A significant portion of the southern section was donated to the Bahamian government to create a protected natural area accessible to the public. This represents an effort to balance commercial development with ecosystem preservation in the region.
