Mayaguana, Easternmost island and district in The Bahamas
Mayaguana extends across 280 square kilometers of land mass, featuring extensive beaches, limestone formations, and native dry forests along its coastline.
The island remained uninhabited from the 16th century until 1812 when people from Turks and Caicos Islands started settling in the territory.
Local residents maintain fishing traditions and organize annual events like the Betsy Bay Homecoming Festival to celebrate community connections.
Travelers reach the island through Mayaguana Airport near Abraham's Bay, with regular Bahamasair flights connecting to Nassau throughout the week.
Horse Pond Beach stands out as a primary location where inhabitants search for land crabs living within the natural limestone rock formations.
