Caribbean Home: Your Own Private Island in the Bahamas

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - February 2, 2014

It’s a common Caribbean dream: having your own private island. Well, in the Bahamian archipelago, it’s not just a dream. Bonefish Cay is located in the so-called Middle Bight of Andros island in the Bahamas.

The 216,360-square-foot island, which even has two active wells, is all about complete privacy, with three small beaches, easy speed boat access and even an old stone dock.

Because of shallow water depths around the island, it’s terrific for bonefishing.

The island is now being listed by HG Christie Ltd for $720,000.

Why not take a permanent vacation to the Bahamas?
