Getting to Coconut Bay

Long Island sits quietly off the beaten path, a short flight from Nassau and a world away from the crowds.

Set on the calm shores of Pinder's Bay in southern Long Island, Coconut Bay is far from the cruise ports and easy to reach all the same. Nearly every journey routes through Nassau, then a short island hop lands you minutes from the resort, and our concierge is on hand to arrange the flights, the transfer, and every detail in between.

International flights

The closest international gateway is Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau (NAS). Non-stop service arrives from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, New York, Toronto and beyond, with easy onward connections to Long Island.

Domestic flights

From Nassau, a short domestic hop lands at Deadman's Cay (LGI), the airport nearest Pinder's Bay, in about 45–55 minutes. Bahamasair and Southern Air Charter both serve the route; Stella Maris (SML) in the north is an alternative.

Private travel

Chartering straight into Deadman's Cay or Stella Maris is the smoothest way to arrive. Our concierge works with trusted Bahamian operators and can coordinate private flights from Nassau or the Florida gateways direct to Long Island.
