Pirates Well, Bahamas
Follows Bahamas Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
With a population of just 235, Pirates Well is a sleepy Bahamian backwater that offers little more than a 16th-century well and a beach resort. Located 500 km southeast of Nassau, the town sits a mere 5 meters above sea level, with average temperatures ranging from a sweltering 28°C in August to a comparatively mild 23°C in January. While rainfall is plentiful, topping over 1,000 mm per year, the town is not immune to natural disasters - Hurricane Irma caused damage to the sea wall and power lines. For those seeking an off-the-grid Bahamian experience, Pirates Well may fit the bill, but its isolation and rudimentary infrastructure make it a poor choice for most.
