Ecotourism On Mayaguana

Ecotourism On Mayaguana

If you are a nature lover, you will want to explore Black Wood Point, located on the northeastern tip of upper Pirate’s Well. It is one of the natural habitats for flamingos, National Bird of The Bahamas, and a variety of other bird species. It is also a breeding ground for conch and most of the indigenous fish. It is advisable to get an escorted boating tour to see them, since the approach by land could be treacherous across the rocks. A number of bird species roost in the buttonwood trees and native shrubs at Curtis Creek near North Beach, and on the nature trails at Northwest Point. Nesting sea turtles can be found throughout the undeveloped eastern part of the island. Numerous iguanas, wild goats and booby birds inhabit Booby Cay and Booby Rocks.
