Peace and Splendor in the Berry Islands
Welcome to a place where vacations should never end. The Berry Islands
are composed of a cluster of islands and cays. As legend has it, its name
originates from the abundance of thatch berry trees found in this part
of the world. Also known as the Berries, the largely uninhabited Berry
Islands offer great diving, snorkeling and sport fishing, as well as miles
of unspoiled, private beaches. With a land mass totaling about a dozen
square miles, and a population of approximately 730 inhabitants, it is
no wonder that this peaceful paradise tops the list of those seeking quietude
and beautiful vistas.
Popular Cays

Whale Cay was once the home of a rich Englishman who developed
a bird sanctuary still evident today. Now a private resort, the entire
cay is marketed as a package, ideal for weddings, bird watching and
corporate group conferences.- Bullocks Harbour, the largest settlement in the Berries,
is a sleepy village located on Bamboo Cay.
