Personal Experiences
- Marsh Harbour is the major supply port for Abaco and its Cays. Its central location makes it popular for folks who rent a slip at one of the marinas for a month to three months at a fairly low price and use it to venture out to the nearby cays from time to time. There are many restaurants, gift shops, grocery stores, etc. within a mile or so from the public dinghy dock. It's certainly not the most attractive harbor in the Abacos, but it's convenient and close to everywhere.
