CRI is the airport code for Colonel Hill Airport, serving Crooked Island, one of the remote southern islands of the Bahamas, in the Caribbean. Crooked Island is a quiet, thinly populated island, part of the district that includes neighbouring Acklins across a shallow lagoon, far from the busy resort islands of the northern Bahamas. It is a place of unspoiled nature: long empty beaches, clear water and reef, mangroves and the great Bight of Acklins lagoon, historically known for its bonefishing flats, which draw anglers, and its old plantation and lighthouse history. Crooked Island offers a genuine getaway, with small guesthouses rather than big resorts, for those seeking quiet, sea and sky. It is reached by flights into Colonel Hill Airport, usually connecting through Nassau, and by boat. The climate is warm and tropical, with a hurricane season later in the year.
