Southeast of the Bimini's is a cluster of 30 islands and close to 100 cays known as the Berry Islands. Covered with tropical green and fringed with drifts of sand, you can find a multitude of beautiful, magical harbors and swim-ashore beaches. The land mass totals only about a dozen square miles, the largest being Great Harbour Cay at 3,800 acres. These cays rest on the eastern edge of the Great Bahama Bank, starting with Great Stirrup Cay, extending to Chub Cay in the south.

These islands are largely uninhabited but they offer spectacular diving, snorkeling and championship sport fishing – second only to the Biminis. This is a big boating and fishing area. Like the Bimini's, record catches have been make of white and blue marlins, sailfish and mackerel. People are scarce, but conch, crawfish and bonefish are plentiful.

The islands' main attraction is their seclusion and privacy. Their reputation as a holiday retreat is well known. Many of the cays are privately owned, such as Fraser's Hog Cay and Bonds Cay, and they are suitable for raising stock and agriculture. There are more millionaires here per square mile than most places on earth. At one time, Whale Cay was the site of a large coconut and sisal plantation.

As you explore the Berry Islands, there are many other places to explore and check out. Sand Dollar Hill is a sandy shoal where there is an extensive array of pretty shells to be picked. Mamma Rhoda Rock is a spiky, shallow reef that is an absolute must for divers. Only 16 feet high, it is home to moray eels and crawfish that peacefully share space in the hole filled rocks. Considered by many to be the "prettiest place in the Isles of The Bahamas", Sugar Beach Caves are a must-see for visitors. This area has many sandy coves set among cliffs, which are said to resemble the great Mediterranean beaches. The shelling is excellent, and the creeks are filled with many species of wildlife.

The Berry Islands are for those who want peace and tranquility – but are also adventurous.
