The Abacos, to the north of New Providence, form the second-largest grouping of islands in the Bahamas and sit at the north of the chain, just east of Grand Bahama Island. Great Abaco itself, aside from being the most affluent and most visited of the Out Islands, is also the most developed.
But with many islands that are virtually deserted, the Abacos are hardly crowded, and the pace is very slow. The archipelago is a mixture of isolated, dusty settlements and neat little towns and villages that could have been lifted straight out of New England. Many of the early settlers were Tories (British Loyalists) from the U.S. who wanted to remain under British rule after the Revolutionary War.
After 1776, the Loyalists established the first settlement in Abaco called Carleton and set up small cotton plantations near what is now Treasure Cay. Their pastel-colored clapboard houses and white picket fences found on the offshore "Loyalist" cays that they settled contrast sharply with the islands' dusty, bumpy, deserted roads that seem to go on forever. It can also contrast the rather dour modern concrete architecture throughout the rest of the chain.
More than 50 species of wild and tropical birds inhabit the islands, along with wild boar and several species of lizards. In the surrounding waters on the west shore, the elusive bonefish draws many an angler.
The region is known for shipbuilding and fishing, and most of the residents earn their living from the sea. Visitors can enjoy diving, fishing and notably great sailing in the calm waters of the Sea of Abaco, a reef-protected watery wonderland between Great Abaco and the cays.
Almost anyone will enjoy three or four nights in the Abacos, at a minimum, since the group offers as great a diversity as anywhere in the Bahamas.
Note: In September 2019, Hurricane Dorian inflicted severe damage on the Abacos. Recovery efforts are ongoing and expected to take years.
The Abacos are a group of islands and cays that form a 120-mile–long chain stretching over 650 square miles. The coastlines are scalloped with bays, coves and protected harbors that feature full-service marinas and resorts. Great Abaco Island and Little Abaco serve as the "mainland." Marsh Harbour has a lively downtown area with all city amenities. Treasure Cay boasts miles of pristine beaches, including one of the top 10 beaches in the world. Elbow Cay and Green Turtle Cay are old English loyalist settlements, where you’ll find beautifully preserved colonial architecture with a touch of Bahamian pastels, of course. And Guana Cay is famous for Sunday barbecues atop the island's tall sand dune, which overlooks a magnificent 7-mile–long beach.
British Loyalists left the United States after the American Revolution ended to establish homesteads in The Abacos. The Loyalist heritage remains strong and their presence is still noticeable today in the colonial style homes of Hope Town and New Plymouth.
The tradition of building boats by hand (without plans) has been passed down for centuries in The Abacos. Some residents of Man-O-War Cay, known as the islands’ boat-building center, still practice that trade, and are renowned for their superior workmanship.
Elbow Cay is home to The Abacos’ most famous landmark—candy-striped Elbow Reef Lighthouse in Hope Town, built in 1862. It stands at 89 feet and is one of only a handful of manually operated lighthouses in the world.
The Abacos are one of the world's top boating and sailing destinations and have been The Bahamas' boating capital since colonial times. The number and variety of islands make this an island hopper's paradise.
