Inagua Island of the Bahamas.
Inagua is actually two separate islands, Great and Little Inagua, which
together are referred to as The Inaguas. They are the most southern part
of The Islands Of The Bahamas -- located less than 60 miles from the
coasts of Cuba and Haiti.
Travelers who are interested in eco-tourism will find Great Inagua an
ideal destination. The Inagua National Park, which makes up almost half
the island, is home to more than 80,000 flamingoes and other exotic
birds such as pelicans, herons, egrets and Bahama pintail ducks. Other
island activities include sailing, deep-sea fishing, scuba diving,
snorkeling and swimming.
Known for seawater salt recovery, The Morton Salt Company’s main
facility is here. This facility produces about a million pounds of salt
per year -- the second largest saline operation in North America. This
has long been The Inaguas’ main source of industry.
Just five miles to the north is Little Inagua. Covered in a vast reef
apron that prevents boats from getting too close, its thirty square
miles is completely uninhabited except for herds of wild donkeys, goats
(descendants of stock introduced by the French) and a wide variety of
bird life, including a rare species of heron.
