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.
