Forfar Field Station, Andros Island, Bahamas

Forfar Field Station

Forfar Field Station


Founded in 1968, Forfar Field Station is your home away from home while on Andros. Forfar is situated on the eastern shore of Andros in the settlement of North Blanket Sound just south of Stafford Creek Bridge . The accommodations include the rustic cabins built from limestone and pine; the main lodge with a kitchen, dining area, lounge, and classroom; and a fire pit, volleyball net and multiple hammocks.
Embracing the Androsian people and their culture will be a richly rewarding and educational experience.
The day will pass with the moving of the sun not the ticking of a clock.
As with all tropical islands, water is a precious commodity on Andros. The large fresh water supply provides ample amounts of drinking water to the residents of the island. Andros also provides nearby New Providence Island (Nassau) with four million gallons of water a day. We are fortunate at Forfar and can drink water straight from the tap. We ask that people conserve water by taking sailor showers (get wet, turn off the water, soap up, rinse off).
