The 10 Best Reefs in Out Islands, Out Islands

January 31, 2022 Misti Hsu

The Out Islands are synonymous with sport, from the depths of the Gulf Stream that yield big game fish to the coral reefs just off shore that are catnip to scuba divers. Sailing, kayaking and beach-combing add action to lazy days in the sun, while resident pink flamingos and rare Bahama parrots color local hikes.

James was a great host for a day on the water! Feeding his pigs and other animals on Currie Sound Cay was such a treat. We spotted loads of sea turtles, found a huge starfish, learned some cool history and shared a delicious lunch of cracked conch, seafood critters and mahi (and 10-12 french fries ;) For sure a highlight of our trip and we will definitely be back for another excursion!

Staghorn and Elkhorn coral can be seen at this colorful reef.

We only stopped at this reef to prepare for a dolphin swim so we had low expectations. However, it was just teeming with life, many schools of fish, coral rocks to explore, and it is in shallow enough water to explore via snorkel or scuba. Saw it with Neal Watson who is always great to dive with.

Great fishing spot, but I probably wouldn’t swim because the current is really strong here. Drive past the ferry dock on the dirt road for a few minutes and fish anywhere on the side of the road. Had a grouper first cast!
