Abaco Island of the Bahamas.
The Abaco Islands are a sailing and boating universe. The major islands
of this small archipelago are Great and Little Abaco, with the off-lying
cays of Elbow Cay, Man-O-War Cay, Green Turtle Cay, Guana Cay,
Stranger’s Cay, Umbrella Cay and Walker’s Cay completing the string.
Somewhere in this 120-mile necklace of islands and often uninhabited
cays and beaches, you’re sure to find the ideal private spot for some
chilled champagne and a good book.
The Abaco Islands’ sheltered harbors create a haven for yachtsmen and
the slumber-struck alike. Here, colonial towns are gems of New England
architecture waiting for those who love to roam secluded villages and
taste a bit of history. For the action and adventure prone, surfing,
diving, snorkeling and spectacular fishing await, as well as plenty to
interest the nature lover, such as the Abaco forest, flora and fauna --
even special resorts for the eco-tourist.
The rich shallow reefs of the northern Abaco Islands and cays are
especially popular with snorkelers and beginning divers of all ages
looking for a relaxed way to see friendly fish and a little history.
Scattered sunken cannons lie on the reef among the ballast stones in
Spanish Cannon. The southern Abaco Islands offer the lush, shallow coral
gardens of Pelican Cays Land and Sea Park as well as the exotic moray
eels of Mermaid Reef and elaborate elkhorn and brain coral of Hope Town
Reef.
