A small but important park west of Nassau, protecting a remnant of the old hardwood forest that once covered the whole island. The two great sinkholes at its centre — large vertical-walled holes opened in the limestone — fill with rainwater and ferns and feel genuinely primeval.
Trails are short (under an hour total) but rough; sensible shoes and insect repellent matter. The park is volunteer-run by the Bahamas National Trust; opening hours are limited and an advance call is sensible. Few cruise visitors find their way here, which is the point.
