THE INAGUAS

The Island: Pink Flamingos, Isolated, Morton Salt

The most southerly and the third-largest island of The Bahamas, Great Inagua is home to 1,200 people. It lies 325 miles southeast of Nassau. It is actually two separate islands, Great and Little Inagua, which together are referred to as The Inaguas.

Why Flamingoes, and Why Salt in Inaguas? Simply put, the geography of Great Inagua, with heat, wind and the shallow pools create huge deposits of salt; and the shallow salt ponds attract shrimp, which attract flamingoes? Easy, right?
Nearly a million pounds of salt is produced from the Salinas of Inagua by the Morton Salt Company. Sea water is pumped into the interior of the island and held in dikes. There are 80 salt ponds, covering over 12,000 acres.

Inagua Heritage Festival

Every year, in Great Inaguas, there is the "Inaguas Heritage Festival", which includes the world famous "Donkey Race". This year, the Festival occurs between August 2nd to 6th, 2007. Other activities include: Junkanoo, Gospel and other music by local and national artists, and other activities....

Inagua is a birdwatcher's paradise with the world's largest breeding colony of West Indian flamingos (over 60,000) -- that makes the ratio of flamingos to people on Great Inagua is approximately 60:1. The park in the area of Lake Windsor, the large lake in the interior of Great Inagua, is a natural habitat for a diversity of birds: Pelicans, Roseate, Spoonbills, Blue Herons, West Indian Tree Ducks, Humming Birds, and the Reddish Egret. .." ...More . .
