Crooked Island Passage serves as an important route for steam ships traveling on a southern route -- mostly to Central and South America.

American Loyalists first settled here in 1783, bringing with them slaves and money to start a short-lived cotton industry. At the turn of the 19th century, around 50 island plantations were in existence and hundreds of slaves worked the fields. As the Blight in the 1820s destroyed most of the plantations, the islands soon became uneconomical. Today, most of the natives’ income centers on fishing and simple farming.

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 bone fishing, deep-sea fishing, sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, 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, colorful villages -- you may want to put Acklins Island on your itinerary.

Crooked Island (together with Long Cay) forms the northwest part of the atoll system. Although this island is a relatively quiet location -- it has many attributes. For diving enthusiasts, there are many coral and reef formations to enjoy. If fishing is your game, deep creeks and tidal flats are filled with game fish that will make for an exciting fishing adventure. In addition, there are miles of beautiful and relaxing beaches.
