Andros Island is a fisherman’s paradise. Swain’s Cay Lodge is located about half way down the East coast of Mangrove Cay in the center of Andros. The Middle and North Bights separate Mangrove Cay from North Andros. The South Bight separates Mangrove Cay from South Andros. This central location makes Mangrove Cay the ideal place to fish due to the versatility of sites easily reached.
The Bights are a complex network of channels, islands, flats, reef and deeper cuts, a rare wilderness and the ideal habitat for numerous sea-life – a superb, healthy ecosystem and the perfect environment for big bonefish!
A complex tidal system exists here where tides can be opposite depending on which side of Andros you are as the water is pushed and pulled through the network of channels. This allows the fishing guides to be able to search out a rising tide at most times of the day.
Swain’s Cay Lodge is uniquely positioned on Mangrove Cay for easy access to either the South Bight or fabled Middle Bight of Andros. Your guide will decide which side of the Cay to meet you at depending on which Bight you’ll be fishing, ensuring you are always a short run to the day’s fishing grounds. We even have a wade-able bonefish flat right off our beach with large bonefish that come onto the flat with the rising tide but be warned – these are clever fish that will test the best fly anglers. Whatever the tide or wind direction, there is always a flat where the sun and wind will be at your back!
They have handpicked the best local independent guides who have bonefish in their blood. Whether you want large numbers of fish in the 3-5-pound range or would rather hunt single and double big bones of 6-10 pounds, our guides know just the spot for the wind and tide conditions. There are flats on Andros for all bonefishing goals – some with enormous numbers.

The rooms include full bathroom and sitting areas, porch and they all have excellent views of the sea. A three-bedroom apartment is also included in the units.
