Curator’s statement
I've always dreamt of escaping to the breathtaking haven of Inagua Island in the Bahamas. The thought of witnessing the graceful spectacle of flamingos amid pristine beaches and turquoise waters fills me with an irresistible wanderlust. It's a rare chance to immerse myself in nature's beauty and create unforgettable memories. Inagua's allure as a hidden paradise, where I can be enchanted by my favorite pink creatures, is a journey I'm eager to embark on.

Day 1: Arrival and your first meal
Arrive at Inagua Airport and start your adventure with a hearty Bahamian lunch at a local restaurant. For a delightful culinary experience, I recommend savoring the flavors of freshly caught fish and conch at a local seaside restaurant. Compliment your meal with a refreshing coconut water or tropical fruit juice, and you'll be immersed in the authentic taste of the Bahamas.
Get to know the island
Visit the Inagua National Park Visitor Center to gain insights into the island's flora, fauna, and conservation efforts. Take a leisurely stroll along the nearby beach to soak up the stunning coastal views. Enjoy a delightful dinner at a restaurant offering Bahamian specialties like conch fritters. I recommend the Lighthouse Restaurant Bar and Grill for its amazing patio view of the historic lighthouse and the sunset.
Day 2: Flamingo Adventure
Begin your day with an early breakfast and prepare for an unforgettable flamingo-watching experience. Head to the specified flamingo habitats and capture photos of these elegant creatures in their natural habitat. Venturing into the park's lush wetlands, the sight of elegant flamingos engaging in their graceful rituals amidst the vivid landscapes will greet you. These pink-hued marvels create a breathtaking spectacle that will surely leave you in awe. Keep an eye out for the diverse array of waterfowl and wading birds that call the park home, offering you an unparalleled opportunity for birdwatching and photography.
Explore Matthew Town
Experience local culture by exploring the local markets where you can discover handcrafted souvenirs, intricate straw items and artwork that reflect the island's artistic talents. The town's warm and welcoming atmosphere invites you to engage with friendly locals, who often share captivating stories about the island's past and its significance in the Bahamian heritage. Matthew Town's proximity to the sea guarantees a delightful seafood culinary experience, where you can savor freshly caught fish and other delectable Bahamian dishes at charming local eateries. Don't miss the opportunity to visit historical sites such as St. Philip's Anglican Church, a testament to the town's enduring architectural beauty.
Day 3: Beach Relaxation
After breakfast, spend your morning lounging on the pristine beaches, swimming in the clear waters, and enjoying the serene atmosphere. For lunch, indulge in a seaside picnic with locally sourced ingredients or dine at a beachfront restaurant. Take part in water activities such as snorkeling, kayaking or simply basking in the sun.
A Fond Farewell
Enjoy a final dinner at a different restaurant to savor more Bahamian flavors. For an unforgettable Bahamian dinner, I highly recommend treating yourself to a succulent serving of grilled lobster, a true delicacy of the islands. Pair it with a side of sweet plantains and Bahamian-style macaroni and cheese for a rich and satisfying meal. As the sun sets over the horizon, complement your dining experience with a refreshing Bahama Mama cocktail, and you'll relish in the exquisite flavors that the Bahamas has to offer. I recommend Cepigel, one of the premier restaurants on the island.
