Catch the wave
SURFING
Abaco offers incredible surfing for all skill levels. The crystal clear water is never crowded, so you’re always first in line to catch the next wave. On a day when the waves subside and the water is calm, you can pick up a paddleboard and experience a day filled with recreation as well as fitness. Think of Schooner Bay as the jewel in the crown of South Abaco’s waters.
CAST YOUR SAILS
SAILING
Sailing offers the chance to get out on the water and explore the rich diversity of the islands. Abaco hosts its fair share of regattas, but two in particular stand out. The annual Five Towns Regatta Time stretches from the American to the Bahamian Independence Day celebrations. Sailing sloops, many from the States, bring enthusiasts to Abaco for this fun-filled and exciting racing series. The competition starts in Green Turtle Cay and finishes in Marsh Harbour eight days later. Expect parties all along the way!
