Island of Lost Buoys

AN ISLAND ON THE PLAYA? JUST IMAGINE…

At Island of Lost Buoys, we celebrate the beauty of forgotten objects transformed into art.

Our journey began with a passion for recycling and creativity, bringing new life to items that would otherwise be lost.

A Bahamian island where a gnarled "Naming Tree" stands tall, embellished with messages on driftwood, buoys, and even toilet brushes. Atop a hill, a driftwood treehouse beckons, whispering tales of pirates. This fantastical art wasn't born of carelessness, but play and curiosity. Over the years visitors transformed flotsam and jetsam into whimsical art; left messages for future travelers; and established a place where creativity, inclusivity, community, and self-reliance were the norm.

This is the Island of Lost Buoys , a place where “Leave No Trace” becomes "Reimagine and Reinvent". Here, we see what others discard holds boundless possibility for persistent, if not radical, reinvention.
