Inagua Coast

Great Inagua lies at the southern end of the Bahamas, north of Hispaniola and east of Cuba. The low island contains extensive salt-water ponds, and its shores face the passages between the Bahamian banks and the Greater Antilles. Settlers from Bermuda arrived by way of the Turks and Caicos in 1803 and began producing salt for sale to passing ships, drawing on the natural salt ponds of the island.
