Nicholls Town

Nicholls Town is a fishing village on the northeast coast of North Andros on the Bahamas.

background

This fishing village with a police station and post office is the main town on the northeast coast of North Andros. Behind the palm-lined beach, the place stretches 1½ km south to Conch Sound. The Carl Oliver Stadium is used for various events, carnival activities, running competitions, the independence celebrations and charity balls. The local sandy beach is long, narrow and has no infrastructure.

There are two larger “Bue Holes” nearby. Benjamin’s Blue Hole, where there are stalactites and stalgmites, and Charlie’s Blue Hole, where, according to the story, a giant octopus pulled several boats under water.
