Treasure Cay
Treasure Cay
Treasure Cay – the name is misleading, for it’s not a cay at all – is on Great Abaco Island some 25 miles north of Marsh Harbour, and was the scene of the first major tourist development in the Abacos. During the 1950s, work began on the resort community. It has continued ever since. Today, the small town offers a variety of accommodations and facilities. There are luxury villas, condos, and time-share units. There’s also a hotel, a 150-slip marina, several shops, a post office, grocery store, health clinic, dive shop and more. Best of all, Treasure Cay boasts one of the best beaches in the Bahamas. The four-mile crescent of sugar-white sand and waving palms, offset against a background of shallow, pale green sea, is the sort of stuff you see on the quintessential vacation poster. Amajor attraction is the golf course at Treasure Cay Hotel Resort & Marina, the only one in the Out Islands. There is also a dive shop at the resort, Treasure Divers.
Treasure Cay is close to the site where the first settlers of the Abacos built their homes in Charleton, near the northern end of Treasure Cay. It lasted only a year or two before its population moved on to what would eventually become modern-day Marsh Harbour.
