description

The largest of the Berry Islands is Great Harbor Cay with a land area of ​​around 31 km² , on which the largest settlement of the islands, Bullock's Harbor , is also located. About 300 people live in the port. The Berry Islands were first inhabited by the Tumoroks and the Libayan Indians, who died out in the 16th century. The islands were subsequently uninhabited until the 17th century. In between, the Berry Islands were used by pirates as a hideout.
