The Berry Islands or "The Berries", are a chain of islands and a district of the Bahamas, covering about thirty square miles (78 km²) of the north western part of the Out Islands. The Berry islands consist of about thirty islands and over one hundred small islands or cays. They have a population of only about seven hundred, most of which are on Great Harbor Cay. But during the winter season the islands are packed with out-of-town guests and second home residents.

The Berry Islands were settled in 1836 by Governor Colebrook and a group of freed slaves.

Due to seasonal residents, the Berry islands can say that they have more resident millionaires per unit area than any other place in the world. Most of those residents own one of the many cays of the Berries making them their own personal retreats.
