==Berry Island Chain==
[[File:Great Harbor Cay horseshoe.jpg|thumb|250px|right|One of three horseshoe beaches on the island]]
The natural beauty of the Berry Islands' chain is extraordinary. It has seven miles (11 km) of ocean front beaches that include isolated enclaves, caverns, and open expanses. Haines Cay has {{convert|3.5|mi|km}} of beaches. At the point of closest approach of Haines, Great Harbour, and Hawksnest, there are {{convert|10|-|15|acre|m2}} of white sand shallows with [[starfish]], [[sand dollars]] and other shallow water creatures.
 
The island was substantially damaged by [[Hurricane Andrew]] in 1992, but has fully recovered since. The Hurricane made landfall twice while moving through the Bahamas, crossing Eleuthera with 160 mph (260 km/h) winds and passing through the Berry Islands with sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h).

Sugar Beach Hotel, a frequent haunt of the rich and famous, is now deserted. In the late 1970s, Sugar Beach Hotel was operational as an entertainment facility for cruise ships. Dinghies would bring passengers ashore to listen to a band and dance for hours.{{fact}}
