Little-known Acklins Island and Crooked Island lie next to each other and are connected by a ferry. They are a dream escape with endless beautiful beaches lapped by aquamarine water. These waters are popular with the more adventurous tarpon and bonefishermen, as well as with divers, as a 50-mile barrier reef encircles the islands. Crooked Island is the main island of the two, with most of the sparse population living in and around the capital, Colonel Hill. Experienced birdwatchers also know that the undisturbed wooded areas are a popular resting place for numerous species, including the ever-elusive hummingbird.
