Andros, Bahamas

Displayed:   times.

Andros, the largest island, receives less tourists and isn't as developed - but is a big draw for divers thanks to the world's third largest barrier reef lying just offshore. It also has a range of accommodation choices from large resorts to small guesthouses. North and South Bimini, close to the Florida coast, are best known for their good yachting, scuba diving and game fishing (Hemingway lived here, in Alice Town). The Berry Islands, too, are particularly popular with fishermen. The Abacos are a cluster of small islands that are a favourite haunt of the yachting fraternity. Thanks to New Englanders who came here after the American Revolution, quaint villages such as Hope Town have lots of pretty, pastel-coloured clapboard houses and picket fences.
