Crab Island is an island located in the mouth of the Berbice River in Guyana.[1]
Crab Island is so named due to the presence of numerous crabs there, and is approximately 1.5 km (1 mi) in circumference.[2] Before the British took over Berbice in 1815, the Dutch had a fort here called St. Andries, and the island was known as Krabbeneiland.[3]
