Lucayan National Park

|
Lucayan National Park covers a 40ac/16ha area that encompasses mangrove swamps, sand dunes, broad beaches, limestone caves, and pine and palm forest.
Split by the main highway to the east, a short hike north brings visitors to a series of limestone caves once used by natives. The bodies of water in these caves connect to the sea and experienced divers with a good sense of direction sometimes take the hour's underwater swim to cave entrances in the sea. Ordinary visitors can climb down stairways to view the unique species of fish.
South of the highway, a circular boardwalk yields an interesting nature walk across mangrove swamps, dunes with land-dwelling crabs and a magnificent beach and other ecosystems with bird watching opportunities.
