Long Island is one of the Out Islands of the Bahamas, located in the southeastern archipelago. The island is known for its pristine natural beauty, featuring turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and a laid-back Caribbean atmosphere. Long Island offers visitors and residents a quieter alternative to the more developed islands, with a strong sense of community and authentic Bahamian culture. The island has a rich history connected to salt production and piracy, with remnants of these eras visible throughout. Long Island provides opportunities for water-based activities including fishing, diving, and snorkeling in some of the Caribbean's most pristine waters. The island's economy is primarily based on tourism, fishing, and agriculture, with small settlements scattered along its coastline. The landscape features coral reefs, mangrove forests, and limestone formations that characterize the Out Islands.
