Abaco Vacations...

Home of the balmy summer breeze.

Abaco vacations are in the northernmost of the Bahamian islands, the Abacos are sometimes called the "isles of the old-time Loyalists" because of their association with Tory expatriates fleeing the American Revolution.

The mainland is actually composed of Great Abaco and Little Abaco, two distinct islands separated by a tiny gap, Abaco rentals and villas are a popular way to spend your Abaco vacations.

In the far north, a group of smaller cays begins with Walker's Cay and runs southeast to Cherokee Sound - a lengthy chain well worth visiting for its superb diving, snorkelling and fishing and Abaco Bahamas charters.

Most visitors on vacations, however, prefer to concentrate on the areas near Great Abaco's main town, Marsh Harbour, and the old-English charm of nearby Elbow Cay, Green Turtle Cay and Treasure Cay, which provide not only glimpses of early Loyalist settlements, but also enchanting coastlines, radiant bays and inlets, and terrific aquatic sports like fishing charters which can be booked seperately or with all inclusive packages.

On the east side, fringing reefs and several deep canyons offer excellent diving, with most choice locations just north of Marsh Harbour.

The pine-covered Abacos have a temperate-to-subtropical climate , with cool winters and mild, windy summers, and an average yearly rainfall of 50-60 inches.
