Green Turtle Cay
Most Trips will start with the first night at the Green Turtle Club Marina. Discover the
casual elegance of a sophisticated Bahamas hotel and vacation resort in the exotic Out Islands of Great Abaco. Located on
Green Turtle Cay, an island just three miles in length, in the Bahamas Family Islands and reached only by boat, the Green
Turtle Club and Marina sits on a picturesque harbor surrounded by some of the most spectacular beaches in the world. With
an enviable location, the Green Turtle Club is centrally located to be within a short golf cart commute of town and it is
the only resort on Green Turtle Cay within an easy walk (less than 10 minutes) from the breathtaking beaches on the Atlantic
side of the Cay. The highly acclaimed Club Restaurant features freshly caught Abaco seafood with a new menu nightly of World/Caribbean
fusion cuisine. Established in 1964, the Resort and Marina were designed and built to be in harmony with the colonial charm
of Green Turtle Cay and the Loyalist settlement of New Plymouth. Honoring the tradition of old English-Bahamian hospitality,
the Club offers a quality of service and attention to detail that is no longer commonplace, finding a perfect combination
of Out Island relaxation and sophisticated comfort.
Located about
30 boat-minutes north of Green Turtle Cay and dotted with a half-dozen superb beaches and secluded coves, Manjack is a virtually
uninhabited island with a total of just two very friendly foks live mostly full time on Munjack, full of charm, beauty
and secrets ... and some of the most picturesque beaches in all The Abacos. Virtually deserted 99% of the time (it's "crowded"
when another boat pulls in a half mile down the beach!), Manjack is a perfect place for a cookout and picnic ... it's
a favorite with island residents during holidays or a rare "day off" from work. Abaconians who love this 2.5 mile
long island have thoughtfully cobbled together a few picnic tables and even a small screen room, whimsically named the "Munjack
Hilton", for those days when there's no breeze and the bugs decide to join in the fun. Water in this area can
run fairly "thin", with approx. 5 foot depth at low tide. If you follow
the wide and clearly marked path, you'll discover the Manjack look-out tower (about 15 minutes from the dock). If it's
too rough to venture on Manjack's eastern side in your boat, the tower provides extraordinary vistas of the island's
Atlantic side and its miles-long beach. The
shallow waters surrounding the east sides of Manjack team with small amberjack, needlefish, starfish, an rays, nurse
sharks, an occasional dolphin, an occasional conch and a wide variety of shells and driftwood. Manjack also offers several
secure anchorages, depending on wind direction.
Great Abaco/Marsh Harbour
Great Abaco is the largest island in the Abacos. Marsh Harbour is the principal city, the third largest in the Bahamas. It has the largest protected deep water harbour in Abaco, and an international airport serviced by major US and Bahamian carriers. Naturally, it has many shops, restaurants, marinas, and accommodations. A full-service dive shop is conveniently located in the heart of Marsh Harbour and offers dive and snorkel trips from Whale Cay in the north to Little Harbour in the south. Rib night at the Jibroom is a great time...enjoy a little rake and scrape...see us below  
Little Harbour is also home to Pete Johnston and his Gallery, Studio and Foundry. Pete is the son of the internationally
acclaimed bronze & wood sculptor, Randolph Johnston and carries on his father's tradition admirably. Pete's Pub
and its owner's sculpture are about as genuine and unique as it ever gets. Uncrowded even by Abacos standards, Little
Harbour, Pete Johnston's Gallery & Foundry and Pete's Pub is wrth the trip.
