ACTIVITIES:

Marsh Harbour and Abaco Beach Resort are the perfect hubs for some of the best day trips in the Out Islands. With the largest selection in Bahamas boat rentals, our marina gives guests a range of choices - from budget to luxury - for both fishing and pleasure cruising. In addition, ferries maintain a steady daily schedule from the public docks near our Bahamas marina to great destinations, including:

Elbow Cay
Man-O-War Cay
Great Guana Cay
Hopetown
Green Turtle Cay

The Abaco Beach Resort and Boat Harbour is situated just outside the town of Marsh Harbour the third largest city in The Bahamas after Nassau and Freeport. Marsh Harbour features three major supermarkets, numerous shops, several fine restaurants and night clubs; therefore one can spend the day browsing for souvenirs, jewellery and crafts.

Abaco however is mostly known as the "Sailing Capital of the World" and therefore any vacation should incorporate renting a small boat, doing some snorkelling or diving and fishing.

Some of the nearby Cays and attractions include:

Little Harbour Cay...

This Bahamas attraction is one of the few that is accessible by both boat and car. The cay is home to Johnston Studios & Art Foundry, with bronze sculptures that weigh hundreds of pounds. The sculptures were created by Randolph Johnston, who passed away in 1992. His son Peter continues the tradition.

Elbow Cay & Hopetown...

A scant 30-minute boat ride from the Abaco Beach Resort is Elbow Cay, the Bahamas tourist attraction probably best known for its candy-striped lighthouse. But there is more to this charming island than the storied beacon. Visitors enjoy walking the narrow streets to observe the New England colonial architecture and the pastel homes of pink, blue, green, and yellow with multi-colour gardens.

Man-O-War Cay...

For those interested in boating and boat building, this is the best Bahamas tourist attraction. Perhaps you'll be lucky to run into Joe Albury, whose family dates back several generations. He continues the craftsman tradition, from Abaco hardwoods, sailing dinghies, model hulls, and gifts. Visitors can also observe the fabrication of sails, canvas bags, and hats.

Great Guana Cay...

Completely different from New Plymouth and Elbow Cay, this Bahamas attraction is popular with snorkelers, swimmers, and sunbathers for its miles of unspoiled beaches. Guests frequently take time out to enjoy the food and unique libations at Nippers Restaurant, which is open daily. This restaurant, a popular Bahamas tourist attraction itself, is also famous for its weekly pig roast.

Green Turtle Cay & New Plymouth...

Just a few miles away by boat or ferry is one of the oldest settlements and Bahamas attractions in Abaco, appropriately named Green Turtle Cay for its striking emerald waters. A very popular cruising destination, Green Turtle provides a variety of well-protected anchorages for boaters. The quaint, colonial village of New Plymouth offers visitors the opportunity to stroll down charming lanes filled with gift shops and restaurants. As with all of Abacos' splendid islands, Green Turtle Cay's beaches and views are spectacular.

Treasure Cay...

In the 1950s, Treasure Cay became one of Abaco's first major Bahamas tourist attractions. Accessible by automobile or boat from Marsh Harbour, it is home to the only 18-hole championship golf course in the Abacos. Like Marsh Harbour, Treasure Cay is a developed, residential community and has numerous homes, condominiums, shops, and medical clinics. It is well known for its picture-perfect, four-mile crescent shaped beach.
