Great Harbour Cay, Island destination in Berry Islands, Bahamas.
Great Harbour Cay is an island in the Berry Islands with sandy beaches bordered by turquoise water. The landscape is flat and low-lying, rising only a few meters above sea level.
The island became a retreat for wealthy visitors in the 1960s who built vacation homes there. This period shaped its character and continued to attract people seeking privacy and island living.
The local community maintains traditional Bahamian practices through regular events showcasing regional crafts, music performances, and food preparation methods.
The island can be reached by small airport or boat, with a range of accommodation from private homes to small guesthouses. Mooring and supply facilities for boats are available, though services are more limited than on larger islands.
A female manatee named Manny sought shelter in the harbor after fleeing a tropical storm from Florida in 1999. The animal remained and became part of the island's living history.
