Little Inagua is a small remote island in the Bahamas. It is the largest uninhabited island in the Caribbean and has no fresh water.[1] The island remains in an undisturbed and natural state.[2]

In 2002, the Bahamas Government designated it as Little Inagua National Park.[1] The park is approximately 31,600 acres and its designation extends into the marine area to 100 fathoms.[3] The park holds a wide variety of reptiles, birds, wild goats, and donkeys.[4] Additionally, the island is a nesting location for a critically endangered sea turtle species.[1]

On July 27, 2017, the U.S. Coast Guard and the Royal Bahamas Defence Force rescued six Haitian migrants from the island.[5]
