Barn Owl's Hole

One mile from the beach, heading north on the island, is Owl’s Hole; a beautiful inland blue hole. This hole received its name from barn owls, one of the two kinds of owls found on Grand Bahama Island. These owls mate and nest on the many ledges of the cave, sleep during the day, and being nocturnal, hunt at night.

It is recommended that you use one of the island's guide services to visit the site.
