Old Fort Bay is more than just a neighbourhood—it’s a piece of Bahamian history brought to life. Located along the western shores of New Providence Island, just east of Lyford Cay, it boasts stunning tropical landscaping and pristine beaches. 

The area takes its name from an 18th-century British colonial fort that once stood here, built to guard against pirates and protect the island’s trade routes. Over time, the fort fell into disrepair but was lovingly restored and incorporated into the community's centrepiece: the Old Fort Bay Club. 

Living here isn’t just about the beautiful beaches or stunning homes—it’s about embracing the lifestyle.

One activity that’s a year-round favourite, though, is swimming with pigs. This quirky slice of paradise blends mystery with fun, offering an unforgettable experience no matter when you visit. 

Whether the pigs of Big Major Cay (fondly called Pig Island) arrived as shipwreck survivors, sailor provisions, or part of a tourism plan, they’ve…
