News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Tues. Aug. 19, 2014: Can you guess where this is?

Its a partial view of Ragged Island in The Bahamas chain of islands. The island is a haven for avid fishermen and fish like grouper, snapper, barracuda, tuna and king fish are abundant in the water.

The beaches of Ragged Island are mostly unexplored while the area is filled with several historical landmarks, quaint towns and authentic handmade Bahamian crafts. Ragged Island is believed to have been a pirate safe house at one point, with its rocks and caves offering great hideaways. Blackbeard’s Bay and Blackbeard’s Well signify that the pirate may have established his headquarters near the well because of its unique location.

Today, just 72 people call Ragged Island home. Because the population is so small, the three religious denominations on the island get together at the same church each Sunday and celebrate as one community.
