The Abacos | _ | | _ | | | Drawing its charm from its loyalist roots, Green Turtle Cay, is a small island
of colourful New England-style clapboard houses located just a few miles
offshore from Treasure Cay, Abaco. Adding to the ambiance created by a town of
narrow roads & flowering bougainvillea disturbed only by the intermittent hum
of passing golf carts, are the myriad of visiting yachts attracted to the
protective harbour of White Sound. The turquoise gin clear waters surrounding
Green Turtle Cay and the breathtaking beaches on the Atlantic Side of the
island provide ample opportunities for fishing or sailing, snorkeling or
diving or simple relaxation. | | | _ | | _ | | | Hope Town itself, is a charming, romantic little village with pretty New
England style pastel-colored clapboard houses surrounded by white picket
fences. Village life is slow and laid-back, golf carts are the main form of
transportation - and there are a limited amount of shops and restaurants.
The town's Wyannie Malone Historical Museum, restored as it was in the "old
days", gives a good idea of the old-time life of the Abaconians right down to
the rocking chairs and broom-making press.
The perfect destination for a honeymoon couple. This is where you want to
explore the outdoors and enjoy the uncrowded beaches. | | | _ | | _ | | | Marsh Harbour is Abaco's largest settlement and its population third
only to Nassau & Freeport. It is the major gateway to this island group, and
is a popular place from which to explore the stunning offshore cays, including
Man-O-War, Guana Cay and Elbow Cays. Known as "The Sailing Capital of the
World", Marsh Harbour is dotted with many marina facilities and is centrally
located in the Abaco Islands making it the ideal starting point for your
sailing adventures. The main Abaco settlement of Marsh Harbour is a modern
town dotted with marinas, local shops and restaurants and it is also
home to Abaco's first, and only traffic light. (Removed again & again by
Hurricane Floyd, & Frances!) | | | _ | | _ | | | Treasure Cay lies in the northern part of Abaco and is easily reached with
direct flights from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Nassau into
Treasure Cay Airport (TCB). From there it is just a simple taxi ride to the
resort of your choice. Treasure Cay is famous for its magificent 3 mile long,
untouched, white sand beach. National Geographics has rated this beach
among the 10 best beaches in the Caribbean. For those seeking action, enjoy
the numerous water sports, diving, tennis, explore the island by bicycle, boat
or car, go fishing or enjoy a round of golf on the challenging 6'985 yard 18
hole, par 72 golf course. Treasure Cay offers hotel rooms as well as many
selfcatering condos. This is a great destination for a family holiday, as well
as honeymooners. | | | | | | |
