Getting There

At 2,300-square-miles, Andros is the largest and least-explored island in The Bahamas. Its waters, however, are well known to scuba divers and snorkelers, thanks to the second-largest barrier reef in the Northern Hemisphere, and the island's standing as the bonefishing capital of the world.

Mangrove Cay, located in the South Central part of Andros, is separated from North Andros by straits known as North and Middle Bight. It is often described as an island within an island, and has a beautiful coastline on the east, inundated with blue holes and a portion of the Great Andros Barrier Reef.  The "Cay" is really comprised of a number of little settlements whose names bespeak their origins: Little Harbour (or Moxey Town), Burnt Rock, Pinders (the largest settlement), Swains, Dorsette, Peaks, Grants, Orange Hill, Victoria Point, Lisbon Creek.

Bain Airport (MYAB).   There are two round trip flights per day from Nassau International Airport non-stop (15 minute flights) to Mangrove Cay at 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM via Western Air returning flights depart Mangrove Cay at 8:30 AM 3:30 PM.  Western Air can be reached at (242) 377-2222. Western Air does not accept credit cards.  Additionally there are Charter Airlines from Nassau which provide the convenience of flying at your schedule eliminating long layovers or an overnight stay in Nassau Le Air Charter and Golden Wings Charter are two of the Charter Airlines that provide service to Mangrove Cay.
