Where is the best stargazing in the Caribbean?
The best Caribbean stargazing is on Anegada in the BVI and the southern Out Islands of the Bahamas β both rate Bortle 2 or lower, the darkest classification outside fully remote desert and ocean. Anegada sits 30 miles north of the BVI’s brighter islands with almost no resident lighting; the entire Milky Way arc is visible on a moonless night from the beach in front of the Anegada Reef Hotel. The Bahamas Out Islands (Conception, Rum Cay, southern Eleuthera) rate similarly. Both beat the more-populated St. Thomas, St. Martin, or Tortola, which sit at Bortle 4β5. A yacht at anchor extends the stargazing window: lights off, deck cushions down, no light pollution within five miles. Caribbean noctourism notes list dark-sky anchorages.
