If you’re looking for an authentic getaway that offers a taste of the tropics, look no further than Great Abaco, the Bahamas. Known as ‘The Green Island’ because of its verdant countryside and abundant vegetation, this archipelago is home to some of the most idyllic beaches in the entire world. If you’ve been dreaming about lounging on a deserted stretch of sand; sipping on a fruity cocktail while staring at the hypnotic rhythm of the crashing waves; and diving into an aquamarine beyond, then Great Abaco is your answer.
Abaco is home to many quaint towns and distinctive island resorts where you can easily spend several days relaxing without running out of things to do. If you’re looking to spend some time on the beach, there’s Green Turtle Cay, Treasure Cay, Elbow Cay, and Man-O-War Cay for you to choose from.
