Long Island: Peaceful Paradise

Most people have never heard of Long Island in the Bahamas, and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it so special. This is a genuine Out Island – home to just 3,000 people – with some of the most dramatic and beautiful coastline you’ll ever see.

Located southeast of Great Exuma, the island provides a perfect contrast between wild and peaceful. The untamed Atlantic side features dramatic cliffs and caves, while the western shore has quiet sandy beaches where you can walk for hours without seeing another soul. Spanning approximately 230 square miles, Long Island is uncommercialized and largely untouched.

Beaches That Redefine Paradise

The western coastline is where beach dreams come true. Cape Santa Maria Beach ranks among the world’s most stunning stretches of sand – a place where the only sounds are gentle waves and rustling palm fronds.

The Love Beaches offer distinctive pink sand in quiet, unspoiled settings. These aren’t typical tourist beaches with rows of umbrellas, but peaceful spots where you can relax under a tree and truly disconnect.

World-Class Fishing & Diving

The fishing here is world-class. Deep sea fishing brings marlin, tuna, and wahoo, while bottom and reef fishing offer equally good experiences. But it’s the bonefishing that really sets Long Island apart – miles of pristine flats along the coastline provide some of the most challenging flats fishing around.

Divers come for Dean’s Blue Hole, the third deepest blue hole on the planet at over 600 feet. Even standing at the edge and looking into that deep blue circle is unforgettable. The shallow reefs along Grouper Valley welcome newer divers, while the Comberbach wreck and nearby Conception Island National Park challenge more experienced explorers.

Long Island Regatta

Every June, the annual Long Island Regatta celebrates the island’s connection to the water. It’s a genuine local event where visitors are welcomed into the festivities.

Prime Real Estate at Very Attractive Prices

The property market offers something rare in the Caribbean: real opportunity on a practically undiscovered island. Oceanfront homes and beachfront lots here cost significantly less than comparable properties in the Bahamas’ more established markets.

You’ll find nice homes right on the beach or steps away, many with clear ocean views that are hard to find elsewhere. For those thinking bigger, large parcels of prime beachfront land await development – pristine coastal property that simply doesn’t exist on more developed islands.

The Ultimate Out Island Experience

With its dramatic cliff, quiet beautiful beaches, superb fishing and diving, and laidback vibe, Long Island is where you go to truly get away from it all. With just 3,000 residents across 230 square miles, you can walk miles of pristine beach alone, fish world-class waters in complete solitude, and fall asleep to the sound of nothing but waves lapping the shore.

What makes the island even more compelling is the real estate opportunity. Beachfront properties here sell for a fraction of what you’d pay in more developed destinations in The Bahamas. Long Island still offers that rare chance to secure prime oceanfront real estate at prices that simply don’t exist elsewhere in The Bahamas anymore.

This is your opportunity to own your slice of an island where peace is guaranteed.
