Abaco

The area of Abaco was founded by American Loyalists in 1783, folks who supported King George II. Currently the island of Abaco has much to offer to its visitors, its two main vacation destinations are Marsh Harbour and Treasure Cay. Marsh Harbour and Treasure Cay both has a main airport that allow for a smooth and stress free travel process. Once you touch down in either city greeting you will be the picture perfect colonial towns, beaches, coves, and water views as you approach.

Places to visit:

Marsh Harbour

In Marsh Harbour there's only one stop light, but at lunch and after 5pm traffic backs up in all directions. About half of the entire Abaco population of 15,000 lives here. This city boast of it's five banks, two ever-expanding hardware stores, gas stations, law and real estate offices, supermarkets, numerous restaurants, insurance companies, and every other store or business one would expect in a town five times this size.

As such, downtown is not particularly picturesque. That aspect is left to the so-called "marina district" on the east side, where the harbor is lined with sparkling marinas, waterfront restaurants, boutiques, and high-end shops like John Bull, Wrackers, Abaco Gold, and the Conch Pearl Gallery. Here you can sip a cup of coffee in the morning, have lunch overlooking a flotilla of boats and dance the night away in an outdoor cafe.

New subdivisions are popping up in town with upscale properties located at places like the Great Abaco Club, a marina community attached to the Abaco Beach Resort. Somewhat removed from the hectic downtown area are quiet waterfront neighborhoods like Eastern Shores and Pelican Shores. And while Marsh Harbour gives a sense urban hustle, the surrounding water, with its marinas, boatyards and docks reminds us daily that this is a town forever tied to the sea.

Treasure Cay

The lovely city Treasure Cay has a marina that houses about 150 slips and there are accommodations for more than 200 guests, including 95 marina units, a number of villas, condominiums, and time shares.
