Bonefish Pond is a great example of Bahamians’ efforts to reclaim the natural beauty of their islands. It’s a wetland maze of mangrove roots, where you can spot birds, bonefish, checkered puffers, and other inhabitants. I’m told there are nurse sharks and turtles not far away, if you go at high tide. The park itself is a quick visit: a walk down the boardwalk to a pavilion where you can gaze at all of the above. I *highly* recommend booking a kayak tour to get a closer look—we did one with True from Ultimate Tours Bahamas, and it was a great insight into the area.

We rolled into this park on a weekday (Monday, 1/27/2020) when it was technically not open. The gate was open so we drove in and walked the boardwalk. It was low tide, but we still saw a lot of bonefish, other tropical fish, and even a crab. Since we were there on a weekday, there was no snorkeling or kayaking going on - it looks to me like a cool place to return with snorkel gear.
