Marsh Harbour, the largest town in Abaco, continues to flourish into the island’s central hub for transportation, government and medical services. A new hospital, a government complex as well as an additional airport terminal all contribute to this expanding area. The new terminal at the international airport allows for an increase in daily direct flights from major U.S. cities and easier access to car rentals. Not to mention, the town plans to build a new sports complex for baseball, track and field, and soccer.
