About The Abacos: the boating capital
The Abacos, the boating capital of The Bahamas, span 120 miles. Great Abaco has two airports, Marsh Harbour and Treasure Cay. Ferries run to Elbow Cay and Hope Town’s candy-striped lighthouse, to Man-O-War Cay, where boats have been built since the 1800s, and to Green Turtle Cay’s New Plymouth, the birthplace of the Goombay Smash. Great Guana Cay has a five-mile beach.
