Clifton Heritage National Park
 

Clifton Heritage National Park, located on the western tip of New Providence Island in The Bahamas, encompasses an area that is as historically significant as it is ecologically diverse.

The park offers a unique opportunity to explore these stories through its preserved ruins and informative displays. Ecologically, the park is home to a variety of native flora and fauna, including a coastal ecosystem that features pristine white-sand beaches, limestone cliffs, and turquoise waters teeming with marine life. Outdoor enthusiasts can engage in a variety of recreational activities, from beachcombing and birdwatching to snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs. Clifton Heritage National Park is not just a hub for historical and ecological preservation but also a center for family-friendly activities and relaxation, making it a prime destination for both local families and international tourists.
