About Fresh Creek
Andros Town Airport or Andros Town International Airport is an airport serving Andros Town on Andros Island in the Bahamas. It is also known as Fresh Creek Airport. It is one of three airports on Andros Island that Makers Air offers daily flights.
Dubbed the “Big Yard,” Andros is different from your typical Bahamian island. While other islands are surrounded by water, this one merges with it.
The ocean water passes through and under its 2,300 square miles of palm savannas, mangroves, and eerie pine forests teeming with exotic wildlife and—as legend has it—an evil man-bird named chickcharnie!
Makers Air provides daily flights to Congo Town, San Andros, and Fresh Creek. We can help you explore the Bahamas’ largest (and Caribbean’s sixth largest) island in style and convenience.
History & Culture of Fresh Creek, Bahamas
In the 17th century, English settlers colonized the Islands and established cotton plantations.
However, in 1938, many Englishmen deemed the land unprofitable and gave it to the natives before moving back to England. The English government also kept patrolling the Atlantic Ocean to prevent illegal trade, and most of the culprits caught were sent to the Bahamas Islands. These people, as well as West Indians and Seminoles from Florida, became the residents of the islands.
When they became overpopulated, they moved to what we now know as Andros. Over the years, this island has developed into a cultural haven, with traditions such as bush medicine, wood carving, straw weaving, and handline fishing being passed down from generation to generation.
Besides The Rich History, You Can Also Enjoy:
MUSIC
The traditional “goombay” and “rake-and-scrape” beats still hold in Andros. On Friday nights, you can enjoy the sounds of the islands at Nicholls Town and Fresh Creek community parks.
ANDROSIA
Androsia, the famous batik fabric and garment manufacturing factory, is located on Andros next to Lighthouse Club in Fresh Creek. Established by the Birch family in 1973 on Andros Island, a remote Out Island in The Bahamas. Their goal was to showcase the natural beauty of a newly independent Bahamas and, engaging with our local community, create something beautiful on our small (big) Island home. Over 40 years later they are still creating our hand made textiles with love and pride. Learn more at androsia.com.
Fun Things to Do in Fresh Creek, Bahamas
VISIT NATIONAL PARKS
Andros boasts the largest national park system in the Bahamas. Some of the best national parks to visit include:
- The Blue Holes National Park
- North and South Marine Parks
- Crab Replenishment Reserve
- West Side National Park

DIVING
In South Andros, you get to explore the third-largest barrier coral reef, the Tongue of the Ocean, and tidal freshwater blue holes.
FISHING FOR BONEFISH
Because of their elusive and slippery nature, bonefish are highly prized game fish. The unspoiled Andros Island’s coastline is threaded with bights, shallow lagoons, and mudflats – prime spots for catching bonefish. This makes the island a hot spot for anglers looking for some fly-fishing action.
Bonefishing is especially thrilling during the peak months of March and April. You can find up to four-day fishing packages at top fishing spots like the Andros Bonefish Club and the Small Hope Bay Lodge.
CRAB FEST
This annual event, held over a weekend in June, celebrates the crab-catching ways of Andros island, which is referred to as “The Land of Crabs.” Highlights include land crabs cooked in 101 ways, a crab cultural show, releasing of the crabs, a crab culinary contest, crabs of Andros life cycle display, and Rake & Scrape Music. The venue is 2½ miles from the Andros Town Airport.
