I had the pleasure of touring Grey's Point Bonefish Inn. I have not stayed on this property as a guest yet. But one day I hope to lodge on this property. The business is owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Williamson and their family. The property has all-inclusive packages for those interested in bone/flat fishing and/or off shore/deepwater fishing. The rooms are very accommodating with A/C, wireless internet, and comfortable furnishings. In addition, meals are prepared on property at your request. Mr. Williamson was born and raised in Northern Acklins. He has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Acklins and the other surrounding islands. I hope to upload more detailed entries of Mr. Williamson and Grey's Point Bonefish Inn in the near future. ? For more information, please go to www.greyspointbonefish.com/. ... read more
