Hanks Place Restaurant and Bar Fresh Creek Andros Bahamas

About Us

Welcome To Hank's Place

Andros Island is the largest and least-explored island in The Bahamas; along the east coast are the fishing and diving grounds of the Andros Barrier Reef. On the West Coast are the pristine fishing flats of the Great Bahama Bank

The beaches are blinding white, the ocean turquoise, the reef system is equaled by only a few places in the world, and the Bone Fishing is unequaled - and its all just a few minutes from the U.S.A

Nestled on the calm waters of Fresh Creek, Hank's Place Restaurant and Bar is a favorite island gathering place. Locals and tourists mingle and enjoy traditional Bahamian food and drink.

On warm summer nights, service is over the water in the Green Eyed Lady Bar. Spectacular sunsets can be viewed while enjoying a savory meal. Leftovers are usually fed to the fish waiting under the deck. People arrive at the restaurant by boat, car or on foot.

Hank has 4 very spacious rooms for rent. He will also rent you a small flats boat, arrange bonefish guide services and generally make you Andros experience one you will remember and talk about.

WELCOME TO ANDROS ISLAND

On Andros Island our beaches are empty, there is almost no tourism, and the Andros Barrier Reef, the third largest in the world and the second largest in the western hemisphere, stretches 140 miles along the east coast of the island and rims the Tongue of the Ocean, with its 6,000 foot drop-off. Additionally Andros abounds in Blue Holes (underwater cave systems) which have been the scene of some of the deepest underwater cave explorations in the world.

Yet these reefs, beaches and waterways are truly among those few remaining "undiscovered" places. The island waterways of Andros, especially Fresh Creek, offer a spectacular opportunity for dinghy exploration and fishing. Just head upstream, you will find something along the way to pique your interest; Andros Island's 2300 square miles may well contain the largest tracts of unexplored land in the Western hemisphere

The bone fishing on Fresh Creek is spectacular. The most select anglers from around the globe come to Andros to match wits with these challenging game fish. A variety of other game fish can be found around the island including permit, tarpon, barracuda, snappers, jacks, grouper, dolphin, wahoo, marlin and sharks

Andros is the only island in the Bahamas where fresh water is abundant. There are several fresh water ponds and creeks stemming from springs in the interior of the island. Over 7 million gallons of Andros water is shipped to Nassau daily.

If you don't like crowds or noisy cities, if you don't demand modern entertainment, sophisticated living or fancy dining, and if you love to view a nighttime sky unpolluted by city lights, then you Fresh Creek, Andros Island, The Bahamas is for you!
