A 2,400 acre private island in the Bahamas, this largely undeveloped paradise is owned by Holland America, (Carnival Cruises also stop here). Most of the island is a nature reserve and an important nesting site for waterfowl. The 50 acres that are currently developed are in the area of the incredible crescent-shaped white sand beach, from which the island gets its name.
