The Berry Islands are a chain of islands and a district of the Bahamas, covering about thirty square miles (78 km²) of the northwestern part of the Out Islands. The Berry Islands consist of about thirty islands and over one hundred small islands or cays, often referred to as "The Fish Bowl of the Bahamas." They have a population of only about seven hundred, most of whom are on Great Harbour Cay. The islands were settled in 1836 by Governor Colebrook and a group of freed slaves.
