How to get to Abaco?
Once you land at the airport in Marsh
Harbour (MHH) it's
just 17 miles to Casuarina Point. There are lots of charter services
that offer commuter flights to the Abacos from Florida.( Vintage, Bahamas
Air, Tropic Air Charters, Island Express, Yellow Air Taxi, Abaco Air,
Cherokee Air & many more) Major airlines like Continental ,USAir
& American also offer daily flights into Marsh Harbour. Most flights
are approx 1 hour from Florida as we are located just 200 miles due east
of Miami, Florida and 40 miles east of Grand Bahama Island and 75 miles
north of Nassau.
Abaco Island is 776 square miles and is the second
largest island (cay) in the Bahamas. It is about 130 miles long
(north to south) and 10 miles wide. It is primarily pine forests and
has unlimited water reserves, it also consists of 20+ cays and adjacent
islands mostly on the eastern side. The population of Abaco's cay's
combined equally approx 10,000.
What to wear?
Slacks/shorts, lightweight cotton or supplex nylon long
sleeved shirts (for sun protection) light colours/fabric fleece sweater or
jacket (for early mornings & evenings & running in the boat) Shows
Rubbers soled non slip for boating or canvas sneakers or Tevas. We highly
recommend anyone who plans to do a bit of wading while on vacation to wear
neoprene booties or wet socks. For a fishing hat we recommend a long front
visor with a dark underbill as this enhances polarizing qualities of
sunglasses and it must shade face, neck and ears.
