Pig Island: The Bahamas' Best Kept Secret

07 Visit the Nearby Friendly Iguanas

Allen's Cay is close to Pig Island and home to the Allen's Cay iguana, also called the Northern Bahamian Rock iguana. These reptiles only exist on three islands in the Exumas so it's worth including a visit on a day trip to Pig Island. Because they are endangered, the lizards are protected by law but, don't worry, they are very accustomed to human visitors. They may run across the sand to greet you and, like the pigs, they expect a snack.
