Mayaguana is the most easterly island and district of the Bahamas. It is one of only a few Bahamian islands which retain their Lucayan names. The population of Mayaguana in the 2000 census was 259, amounting to an estimate 312 in 2010. It has an area of about 280km2.
About 100km north of Great Inagua and 560km southeast of the capital Nassau, Mayaguana is considered the halfway point between South Florida and Puerto Rico and is about 450 nautical miles off Palm Beach, Florida. It is a popular stopover for boaters on a direct route to the eastern Caribbean. It also was one of the first islands that Christopher Columbus landed one during his journey to the new world.
History
Mayaguana was inhabited by Lucayans prior to the arrival of the Spanish following 1492. After the last of the Lucayans were carried off to Hispaniola by the Spanish early in the 16th century, the island remained uninhabited until 1812, when people began to migrate from the Turks and Caicos Islands, which are located about 100km southeast.
MAYAGUANA is way out there, there's not a lot to do... and that's kinda what we loved about it!
By walking the beaches regularly and learning from other capable cruisers, we learned how to identify edible plants and berries all over the island.
Join along on a tour, hosted by local legend, Scully.
