Mayaguana Island of the Bahamas.
Mayaguana Island was uninhabited until 1812, when people began to
migrate from the nearby Turks Islands. Located 60 miles north of Inagua,
Mayaguana Island is a popular stopover for yachtsmen on a direct route
to the Caribbean.
Mayaguana Island is home to 312 locals and the Bahama Hutia -- a cross
between a rat and a rabbit that was thought to be extinct until the
mid-1960s. Most people make a living fishing and farming the fertile
soil of this woody terrain. The main form of communication on Mayaguana
Island is the mailboat which transports the mail once a week.
Get out in the sun and enjoy peaceful beaches surrounded by a
spectacular diving reef. And if you want to check out the local life,
visit the shops, bars and restaurants in the three main settlements --
Abraham's Bay, Betsy Bay and Pirate's Well.
