Lochabar Beach is a beautiful beach with a large blue hole, sandbars, and great snorkeling.

It's located on the southeast side of Long Island in the Bahamas.

From the Queen's Highway we took a paved road all the way to the beach.

We parked in the culdesac and took the sidewalk to the beach.

At the entrance of the sidewalk to the beach, there were three signs. One sign warning that there are no lifeguards on duty. Another that there are sharks and sting rays in the water. The last sign let us know that the cabana is only for Harbor Breeze Villas and Resort guests.
