Cherokee Sound and the settlement of Cherokee are among the most isolated of all The Abacos' many settlements. At one time the fishing industry provided the primary work for this tiny little town, which, today, encompasses a population which numbers less than 100 families. Cherokee has the distinction of having one of the only over-water bridges in the Abacos and one of the very longest docks, cut almost in half by Hurricane Andrew and not yet rebuilt. Cherokee has a small general store where most things can be purchased, and a boating store with any fishing gear that is needed.
