The Berry Islands consist of a loosely bunched cluster of 30 cays, the majority being uninhabited, and those that are have very limited populations. The area is known for indescribably beautiful secluded beaches and has remained fairly untouched due to its shallow flats, which also makes it relatively inaccessible for sailboat cruising and yachts in most areas. The Berry Islands start at Great Stirrup Cay to the north, which is owned by Norwegian Cruise Lines as a day center. Neighboring Great Stirrup Cay is Little Stirrup Cay, also known as Coco Cay, and is a private island used by Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. Just south of the Stirrup’s is Great Harbour Cay, the capital of The Berries, with a population of 700 people, and more millionaires per square inch, than any other place in the world, although you’d never guess that, based on its blatant unpretentiousness. From Great Harbour Cay undeveloped islands stretch for 20 miles to Chub Cay which is only 35 miles north of Nassau. Chub Cay is known as The Billfish Capital of The Bahamas, as it’s right on the northern border of the Tongue of the Ocean.
