Little Abaco Info, Abaco

Abaco is a group of islands where time seems to have stood still, virtually untouched by modern man. There are no crowds, high rises, or casinos to be found here. The pace is relaxing and the dress is casual. A barefoot elegant atmosphere.

World class fishing, snorkeling and diving are just minutes away. Lubbers Quarters is a beautiful private island right in the middle of the sea of Abaco. With well-spaced homes, the cay is uncrowded & serene. Historic Hope Town on Elbow Cay & Marsh Harbour are 15 minutes or less by boat, with more beaches.

The Abaco Islands are strewn like a necklace of jewels at the western doorstep of the Atlantic, roughly 115 miles north of Nassau. The Main island, Great Abaco, is the third largest in the Bahamas, and Marsh Harbour is the largest settlement in the Out Islands - with the Abaco's only stoplight.

Cherokee Sound and the settlement of Cherokee are among the most isolated of all The Abacos' many settlements. At one time the fishing industry provided the primary work for this tiny little town, which, today, encompasses a population which numbers less than 100 families.
