Crab Island is an island located in the mouth of the Berbice River in Guyana, located at 6°16′59″N 57°31′01″W / 6.283°N 57.517°W / 6.283; -57.517.[1]

Crab Island is so named due to the presence of numerous crabs there, and is approximately one mile in circumference.[2] Before the British took over Berbice in 1815, the Dutch had a fort here called St. Andries.
