Discover Long Island

Split by the Tropic of Cancer, there are two distinct coastlines that make the island a water lovers’ dream come true. On the western Caribbean side, they find a soft white beach with crashing waves, and on the east, the Atlantic coast yields rocky cliffs that descend into the sea. One of the biggest draws each year is the Long Island Regatta early in June, which attracts thousands of tourists to participate and watch the race, and who come to enjoy the celebration that accompanies the multi-day event.For more information, please visit The Government of The Bahamas, The Government of The Bahamas Department of Statistics
