Crab Island

Crab Island is a unique island in Guyana, located near the mouth of the Berbice River. Crab Island is about a mile in circumference and gets its name from the abundance of crabs that live there. The Dutch had a fort here called St. Andries before the British took over Berbice in 1815.

It is a place where a high number of crabs may be discovered, as the name implies, and their presence is a tourist draw. Despite its tiny size, a fort was built on this island during the Dutch occupation of Guyana. It was known as St Andries, and its ruins can still be discovered today. Crab Island is brimming with natural beauty, having been mostly kept unspoiled. The foliage is green and the water is blue. If you're traveling to Guyana, make a point of stopping by this island and experiencing its uniqueness.
