There are so many incredible cays to explore!

The Berry Islands lie 150 miles east of Miami and 50 miles northeast of Nassau. It is believed they were given that name because of the abundance of thatch berry trees found here. Decked with greens and fringed with drifts of sand, here you can find a multitude of magical harbors and swim-ashore beaches. These largely uninhabited islands offer spectacular diving and snorkeling and are known for championship sport fishing, second only to Bimini.

With a landmass totaling about a dozen square miles, the cays rest on the eastern edge of the Great Bahama Bank, starting with Great Stirrup Cay and extending to Chub Cay in the south. Great Harbour Cay, the largest of them at 8,300 acres, was once a major golf resort where the rich and famous came to play. It has seven continuous miles of beautiful beaches with one of the best protected harbors in The Bahamas. Bullock's Harbour, adjoining Great Harbour Cay, is the administrative center and home to most of the islands' local population.
