About
High Rock is a small settlement at the eastern end of Grand Bahama Island, in the Bahamas. It sits in the Caribbean, part of the wider region of North America, and makes a quiet alternative to the busier parts of the island.
The village is known for its limestone cliffs and its dramatic coastal scenery. Visitors who come for the landscape will find the shoreline the main draw, with rock formations set against open water and a sense of space that is easy to enjoy at an unhurried pace.
What to do
- Bone fishing in the shallow waters around the area
- Snorkeling along the coast
- Exploring secluded beaches away from the crowds
The feel of the place
High Rock suits a visitor who wants to step away from resort life and see a more local side of the island. It is an opportunity to experience everyday Bahamian culture while taking in some of Grand Bahama's most striking natural scenery.
If you are planning a trip, consider it as a half-day or full-day outing from elsewhere on the island, pairing time on the cliffs and beaches with an afternoon in the water. Its appeal lies in its scenery and its quiet, rather than in any single attraction, so allow time to wander and simply take in the coast.
