At the top of the Bahamas chain is a cluster of islands and cays stretching nearly 130 miles southeast. They are called the Abacos, and they are approximately 175 miles east of Palm Beach and 106 miles north of Nassau. The two largest islands are Great and Little Abaco, and are surrounded by smaller islets such as Walker's Cay, Green Turtle Cay, Treasure Cay, Man-O-War Cay, Elbow, and Great Guana Cay. Famous for its beautiful clear blue water, the Abacos have long been a favorite of sailors and fisherman. A mixture of old world charm and just a touch of modernization makes all of these islands a welcome relief from a hectic world.

There are three airports in the Abacos. Walker's Cay in the north, Treasure Cay in the middle and Marsh Harbor in the south. A number of commercial flights are scheduled to and fron Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and several points within the Bahamas. While there are ports of entry for those arriving by boat, there is no commercial cruise ship travel to the Abacos.

Accommodations in the Abacos are mainly seaside getaways comprised of villas, smaller hotels and Bed and Breakfast inns. Lacking are the high-rise glitz and glamour of the large casino hotels and chains. Activities include diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, fishing, relaxing on the beach, dining, shopping, and hiking.

Transportation around the islands are by taxi and ferry boat.

Diving includes reefs, wrecks and wall for your enjoyment. There are many beautiful shallower dives here with extended bottom times.
