Inagua, Island district in the southern Bahamas.
Inagua is an island district in the southern Bahamas covering 596 square miles of territory. The landscape includes salt flats, coastal wetlands, and dry forests with the highest point reaching 33 meters above sea level.
The island was called Heneagua by Spanish explorers between 1500 and 1825, a period when many ships wrecked on surrounding reefs. These maritime disasters left marks on the local geography and shaped settlement patterns.
Matthew Town reflects influences from Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean in how its buildings look and how residents gather for celebrations. Local traditions shape the character of daily life in this small coastal community.
Scheduled flights from Nassau or boat services bring visitors to the island, with most accommodations located in Matthew Town near the salt facility. Having your own transportation helps explore the wider landscape.
Lake Windsor sits in the island's interior as a freshwater body spanning 12 miles, occupying roughly one-quarter of the land. This water provides a home for about 80,000 West Indian flamingos in their natural surroundings.
