Marsh Harbour

Bahamas

Cays and Settlements

The largest settlement in the Abacos, and third-largest in the country, can be found on  Abaco.

Though Marsh Harbour's population is significantly larger than others in the Abaco chain, resident numbers vary between 5,000 and 6,000.  While this family island has more shops, services, and facilities, it still maintains the same laid-back character found on sister islands.

Marsh Harbour's international airport facilitates travel between larger cities and smaller settlements. Albury's Ferry Service makes several daily trips to some of the Abaco cays, including Great Guana Cay, Elbow Cay and Man O War Cay.

Being a gateway to the island chain means that Marsh Harbour is a popular place for island hoppers and visitors en route, but the town has more to offer guests than its portals.
Enjoy the island life in Marsh Harbour by visiting unique boutiques and shops, dining at native Bahamian restaurants, and rest in clean and well maintained hotels.  Enjoy the island pace and travel between all of these attractions by foot or rented bicycles.

Those looking for Family Island nightlife will find evening dancing at the Jib Room, a restaurant and evening entertainment hotspot, given top ranking on Tripadvisor. SCUBA diving and snorkelling can be arranged at Dive Abaco, which specialises in guided dives. Deep sea and reef fishing can be found at one of the local charter companies.

Explore the Abaco National Park or one of the nearby alluring beaches via the affordable cars for rent. 

Getting to Marsh Harbour is easy. The town is served by daily flights from Florida and New Providence.
