Great Guana Cay

Fodor's Review:

The essence of Great Guana Cay can be summed up by its unofficial motto, painted on a hand-lettered sign: it's better in the bahamas, but. it's gooder in guana. This sliver of an islet just off Great Abaco, accessible by ferry from Marsh Harbour or by private boat, is the kind of place people picture when they dream of running off to disappear on an exotic island, complete with alluring deserted beaches and grassy dunes. Only 100 full-time residents live on 7-mi-long Great Guana Cay, where you're more likely to run into a rooster than a car during your stroll around the tranquil village. Still, there are just enough luxuries here to make your stay comfortable, including a couple of small, laid-back resorts, and a restaurant-bar with one of the best party scenes in the Abacos. The island also offers easy access to bonefishing flats you can explore on your own.
