Johnny Depp owns a 45-acre private island in the Bahamas named Little Halls Pond Cay. Located in the Exuma Land and Sea Park protected area, he reportedly purchased the island in 2004 for approximately $3.6 million after filming Pirates of the Caribbean in the region. The island is famous for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine white-sand beaches, which Depp reportedly named after his children and significant people in his life (such as "Lily-Rose Beach" and "Gonzo Beach," the latter in honor of his friend Hunter S. Thompson). The island is powered entirely by solar energy and features a few small, eco-friendly residences rather than a massive mansion. It served as the location for his 2015 wedding to Amber Heard. Depp has frequently described the island as his ultimate sanctuary and the only place where he can feel completely "normal" and away from the scrutiny of the paparazzi. Access to the island is strictly private and is only reachable by boat or seaplane, ensuring total seclusion in one of the most beautiful archipelagoes in the world.
