Explore: Mayaguana
General Info
Of all the Out Islands, this is the most “out” as well as the least developed and visited. It lies at the eastern extremity of the Bahamas, halfway between South Florida and Puerto Rico, approximately 450 nautical miles southeast of Palm Beach. Mayaguana does not see a great deal of yachting traffic, but it is a good place to break a passage on the way to the eastern Caribbean.
There are three settlements; Pirate’s Well on the north coast, Abraham’s Bay on the south coast (the largest settlement and port of entry), and Betsy’s Bay on the west coast. Abraham’s Bay is the official Port of Entry for this island. There are no more than a few hundred permanent residents on the island.
Currently, it is a quiet eco-tourism destination.
