Crab Island, Guyana

Last updated

Crab Island is an island located in the mouth of the Berbice River in Guyana. [1]

Crab Island is so named due to the presence of numerous crabs there, and is approximately one mile in circumference. [2] Before the British took over Berbice in 1815, the Dutch had a fort here called St. Andries.
