Acklins/Crooked Island

Acklins/Crooked Island sits about 223 miles southeast of Nassau/Paradise Island. Together, the two islands form an area of approximately 200 square miles in length.

American Loyalists first settled here in 1783, bringing with them slaves and money to start a short-lived cotton industry. In the 1820s plantations were destroyed by blight, ruining the island’s economy. Today, the local economy is derived from fishing and farming.

Visitors will find truly memorable bonefishing, deep-sea fishing, sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming and sunbathing. If you love being surrounded by tropical birds, rolling hills, a coastline with hidden coves and colorful villages, add Acklins/Crooked Island to your vacation plans.
