Baycaner Beach Resort

In operation since 1996, this is the island's only hotel that can even lay a claim to being that. Its owner, Ernal Brown, is called "Shorty" by all the locals, and he's the man to see if you're one of the rare visitors who ever makes it to this part of the world. You can literally jump from your simply furnished bedroom right into the water. Accommodations contain a comfortable bed, a scattering of wicker furnishings, an air-conditioner, and a small but well-maintained bathroom. The lobby adjoins the dining room and bar (the latter is popular with locals). You might have the dining room to yourself, however. Dig into that Bahamian staple of brown pigeon peas 'n' rice. Most meals feature conch -- perhaps in a chowder or freshly made salad -- and the inevitable grouper, the most popular fish caught here. The cook bakes fresh bread daily.
