The Bahamas’ best kept secret, Inagua

Some of my favourite photos I’ve captured in Inagua. (Credit for aerial image goes to marina.com) Inagua is more than just the bird-watching capital of The Bahamas. Inagua also has a fascinating history. Matthew town is the only settlement and is said to be the best laid out town in The Bahamas. With its perfectly planned squares (see aerial photo) within the settlement it’s easy to get lost 😂.

Inagua was also once the port of call for many international vessels, the island was so prosperous that in 1900 a proposal was made to the House of Assembly for Inagua to become a part of Jamaica. The HOA knew the financial loss would be too great for The Bahamas and the suggestion was refused.

With one of the world's largest solar evaporation saltworks and the second-largest saline operation in North America located on the island, it makes Inagua an unassuming industrial powerhouse
