Rose Island, Bahamas
View Original Description
Rose Island is a small picturesque island in the Bahamas that lies 3 miles east of Paradise Island, which lies directly off of New Providence Island. There is some great snorkeling around the island.
The island is used as a station for trained dolphin encounters, and there are docks for this purpose on a inland cove which is accessed by the sea. The largest mass of the island is made up of a shallow inland lagoon in the center of the island. The highest elevation on the island is 52 feet. The island has a thin peninsula which juts out 7 miles east.
The island's coast was the filming location for the crash-landing of a Vulcan Bomber in the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball. The island has no formal residential infrastructure and no roads.
