Boat-access sand flat famous for tiger sharks and clear water.
Boat-access sand flat famous for tiger sharks and clear water.
The shark setup depends on boat logistics and operator handling, so local guidance is the normal way in.
Tiger Beach is a boat-access sand flat off West End, Grand Bahama, where the planning focus is less on terrain and more on a full-day shark encounter. The bottom is shallow and sandy, the water is usually clear, and the site draws divers and photographers who want close, controlled time with tiger sharks plus the other large sharks that circulate through the area.
