Egg Island (Bahamas)
Egg Island is an uninhabited island, officially an islet, comprising in the Bahamas. It is thought to be named because of the supposed chickens owned by residents of other nearby islands who travel here to collect the eggs; however, there are no chickens on Egg Island.

The island has a crescent shaped beach that is protected by a reef that protects the entire beach. The water behind the reef is generally less than deep making it a good place to swim or watch the sea life. Since the water is so shallow and well protected, it tends to be warmer than the surrounding sea.
