Contact Bahamas Realty for more information about a specific property. It took nearly a century for the boatbuilding industry to strip the island of its hardwoods, and today only two firms carry on the tradition. In the 1800s, The Abacos took on an almost New England character as fishing, wooden boat-building, and “wrecking (salvaging damaged ships while they were sinking) became the mainstays of the local economy. Here, 600 refugees from New York founded Carleton, the first Loyalist settlement on Great Abaco near the present-day resort of Treasure Cay. Others were drawn to virgin land for the taking in The Out Islands, including the uninhabited Abacos. British Loyalists left the United States after the American Revolution in 1783 to establish plantations. However, The Abacos' distinctive character dates back to the islanders' Loyalist heritage. It is widely believed the Arawak and Carib Indians inhabited The Abaco Islands in the Pre-Columbus era.
To the south lies Little Harbour, a picturesque protected bay where you'll find a small artist colony based around the Johnston family and Pete Johnston's Pete's Pub and Gallery. North of Marsh Harbour is Treasure Cay, a hotel, golf, marina, and real estate development wrapped around a beach with the whitest, softest sand you've ever seen.
Along with having a great selection of hotels, restaurants, and bars, Marsh Harbour is charter boat central, with several full-service marinas where you can dock your own boat or find a rental, both live-aboard sailboats and powerboats are available.
And to put that into perspective, Marsh Harbour has exactly one traffic light (the only operating one in all The Bahamas Out Islands). Great Abaco Island is home to Marsh Harbour, the "bright lights and big city” of the Out Islands.
