Discover Our Very Special Island
G
Green Turtle Cay, located in the Out-Islands of Abaco in the Bahamas, is a family vacation paradise located 170 miles due east of Palm Beach, Florida. The island is small in size at 3.5 miles in length and 1.5 miles wide. Coral gardens team with colorful sea life, making for wonderful snorkeling and diving expeditions. Shelling on the powder-soft beaches and offshore sandbars is among the finest in The Bahamas. You can find starfish and sand dollars as you stroll along the shores. Boaters are encouraged to explore deserted islands like Fiddle Cay to the north and No Name Cay and Pelican Cay to the south of Green Turtle Cay.
Founded by the Loyalists in the 1700s, the historic village of New Plymouth was born of those individuals still loyal to the Crown of England. Easily accessible by rental golf carts, the village has narrow winding roads, pastel clapboard cottages with white picket fences and many little, quaint bars and restaurants.
New Plymouth is unique in that it is a true working Bahamian village. While in the village, be sure to stop by some of the workshops of the local craftsmen, see their work and meet some of the friendliest people in the world.
