Marsh Harbour is the largest community in the Abacos where local services includes a post office, bookstore, grocery stores, specialty shops, travel agencies, and laundries.

Most visitors come to boat, swim or snorkel, and stay at one of the lodges located near Bay Street on the waterfront, though some adventurers reserve a day or two to kayak in the Marls on trips conducted by naturalist guides.

Must see places:

Cherokee Sound - perfect place for eating sharks and pigeons.

Little Harbour - white sand beach.

Pete Johnston's Foundry - the only place in the Bahamas that has bronze foundry.

Cassuarina Point - a good place to swim. It has a lovely stretch of sand and some jade coloured flats.

Crossing Rocks - a long beach of golden sand.

Abaco National Park - learn about the town's flora & fauna. For more information, contact +12423931317.

For those who love to eat, you will enjoy the large number of seafood restaurants in Abacos. Try Sapodilly's, Wally's and Mangoes for sumptuous foods that ranges from $12 to $25 which normally comes with a salad.

If you are looking for a place to stay,do not worry because Marsh offers an average selection of comfortable and reasonably priced accommodations, including the internationally recognized Abaco Beach Resort and (right next door) Abaco-Towns-By-The-Sea. It is located within a 5 minute walk from these hotels, you'll find several smaller and less imposing accommodations such as the legendary (and recently renovated) Conch Inn Marina and Hotel (recommended).


When you arrive at the airport, a quick taxi ride will take you to the ferry dock where you are just a 20-minute boat ride from your destination.
