This is from the Dolphin page on oii.net. Hole in the wall is well worth
the visit, but the road is ROUGH! I'd advise trying to hitch
a ride with the survey folks. They can even put you up for the
night.

Update, July 1997: The Bahamas Marine Mammal Survey has
moved the base of operations to Hole In The Wall, the lighthouse
complex on the extreme southern tip of Abaco. The lighthouse
has been automated and is now unmanned. The Bahamian
government has leased the keepers' quarters to the Survey.

The emphasis of the survey is to catalog sightings of whales and
dolphins in the Northeast and Northwest Providence Channels -
the deep passage through the Bahama Banks that connects the
open Atlantic with the Gulf Stream and Florida coastal waters.

Vistors are welcome but be warned that the road(?) into Hole In
The Wall from the paved Great Abaco Highway is difficult. A
high clearance vehicle is strongly advised. From the turn-off to
the lighthouse is 15 miles, allow at least an hour and a half each
way.

There is no phone service into the site but the team makes at
least one trip a week to Marsh Harbour. Diane Claridge's sister,
Brenda Mitchell, can usually be reached through Sapodillys Bar
and Grill on the Marsh Harbour waterfront. Contact Brenda if
you wish latest news from Hole In The Wall.
