Summary:About 223 miles southeast of Nassau are Acklins and Crooked Island.
Description: About 223 miles southeast of Nassau are Acklins and Crooked Island. Together they form an area of almost 200 square miles that hug the waters of the Bight of Acklins. A narrow sea passage known as the Crooked Island Passage serves as an important route for steam ships travelling on a southern route -- mostly to Central and South America.
At the southern and southeastern part of The Islands Of The Bahamas chain lies Acklins Island. This lesser known island has many unusual rock formations, beautiful beaches and varied plant and animal life. The island is so quiet that you can hear the tropical breezes blow. But solitude has its price. Visitors will find truly memorable bonefishing, deep-sea fishing, sailing, scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming and sunbathing, but they’ll be pretty much on their own in their enjoyment. But if you love being surrounded by tropical birds, rolling hills and a coastline with hidden coves and tiny, colourful villages -- you may want to put Acklins Island on your itinerary.
