Abaco Bahamas Travel and Tourism Guide

Specifically about one of the Islands of the Abaco chain - Elbow Cay.

Elbow Cay is a six-mile long cay in the Abaco Islands of the Bahamas. Originally populated by British loyalists fleeing the newly independent United States of America in 1785, it has survived on fishing, boat building, and salvage. It's main village of Hope Town surrounds a protected harbor with a noted red and white striped 120ft (36m) lighthouse built in 1863.

Elbow Cay is located about 4 miles East of Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco Island. Most visitors fly into Marsh Harbor and take the ferry to either Hope Town at the Northern end of Elbow Cay or White Sound, a mid-island harbor and settlement developed in 1960. At the Southern end of the island is Tahiti Beach.

Man-o-war cay is to the north and tiloo cay is to the south.

There is telephone service, but most residents depend on the VHF radios to communicate.
