The Andros Lighthouse was built in 1892 to mark the southern entrance to the Fresh Creek Channel. In 1952 three old canons and a tower at the top were added. Today it stands as a local landmark.

Wood Carver - Henry Wallace Andros is famous for straw crafts, which can be purchased in most set-tlements, particularly in Red Bay and the Fresh Creek area..

Sponging in Andros. Just off the sandy white beaches of Andros natives spend the day on the ocean harvesting sponges to bring back to shore. Here the sponges go through a distinctive process of drying and cleaning to prepare them to be sold all over the world. Sponge finishing is one of the most important forms of income.

Robinson Crusoe Blue Hole located in Mangrove Cay. Blue Holes are found in many places on Andros Island. Most of them lie along a mas-sive fracture system which starts in the marine environment at the edge of the Tongue of the Ocean and runs through the land and across South Bight. Rare and highly specialized spe-cies, including cave fish and shrimps can be found within the blue holes. Many of these endemic species have highly restricted ranges.

Uncle Charlies Blue Hole (NT) Located 300 yards off the main highway in North Andros. This Blue hole is 40 feet in diameter and about 120 feet deep.

The Andros Crab, Found mostly in the mangroves and swamps of Andros it forms a central part of life for Andro-sians. Crabbing has proven to be a bonify sector of Andros ecomony. Crab Fest: June 10th - 13th, 2010
