Sandy Point is a pleasant fishing settlement positioned at the southwestern tip of Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas. Geographically, the village is defined by its unique location on a narrow peninsula that extends into the Caribbean Sea, surrounded by vast, shallow sandbanks. Historically, Sandy Point has functioned as a self-sustaining community, with generations of residents relying on the harvest of seafood, particularly the Caribbean spiny lobster. The region has seen a rise in international profile recently due to its proximity to development projects at Lighthouse Point, yet it retains the atmosphere of an authentic Bahamian out-island village. The flats surrounding the peninsula are highly regarded by fly-fishing professionals, while the local beaches are vital nesting grounds for sea turtles. Despite significant infrastructure upgrades throughout Abaco, Sandy Point has preserved its traditional character, evident in its local architecture and tightly knit social structures. It also serves as a strategic gateway to the Abaco National Park, which protects the endangered Abaco Parrot.
