Marsh Harbour travel guide and vacation resources
Centrally located on Great Abaco's mainland about 23 miles south (about 18-20 miles "as the crow flies") of Treasure Cay, Marsh Harbour is the Bahamas' third largest settlement (approx. 6,000 residents). By far the largest community in The Abacos, Marsh Harbour is the shopping, dining, banking and marine hardware & equipment supply center of The Abacos. As such, Marsh is truly the commercial "hub" of The Abacos and also boasts the larger of the islands' two international airports. It is also the most crowded and, in relative terms, most congested. Marsh is the Abacos' banking and insurance center, as well as home to more import-export companies than anywhere else in the Out Islands. As of January 2004, Marsh can boast of having three computer equipment sales, service, repair and supply companies, an internet cafe (or two) and some fairly decent broadband connections through Bahamas Cable. As a further indication of the importance of Marsh Harbour in the overall scheme of all things Abaconian, Marsh supplies electricity to The Abacos' offshore cays and mainland settlements as far north as Green Turtle and as far south as Cherokee Sound. As host to numerous summertime sailing regattas as well as bluewater sport fishing competitions (including central Abacos' largest), numerous modern marinas, yacht charter (The Moorings has major charter bases in Marsh), dockage and boat repair facilities (including the Bahama Out Islands' Yamaha dealer network). Marsh occasionally resemble one of Florida's internationally acclaimed boat shows. Marsh Harbour also offers a choice of more electronic, marine, outboard engine and related repair facilities than any other city in The Bahamas except Nassau and Freeport-West End. Certified Yamaha repairs and a huge parts and new equipment inventory are conveniently available at Abaco Outboard Engines, Ltd., on the north end of Marsh Harbour. For large yacht hauling and repairs (up to 50 tons, 65' LOA and 7' draft), Green Turtle Cay's Abacos Yacht Services is still the "only game in town".
