Located a little over an hour from Florida in the Abaco, a chain of islands in the Bahamian Out Islands, lies Green Turtle Cay, your perfect escape to an island paradise. Here life moves at a slower pace, watches and cell phones can, and most often are, left behind. Upon arrival, you'll find our friendly island exudes a special laid-back atmosphere only experienced in these Islands. Measuring almost three miles long and just a mile wide at the widest point, Green Turtle Cay is surrounded by calm waters, miles of pristine, mostly deserted beaches, and inhabited by the friendliest people you will meet anywhere. If you are looking for the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate, to escape the stresses of life, a vacation to Green Turtle Cay may be just what you need. |

Originally settled in 1783 by the "Loyalists" escaping the revolutionary war, Green Turtle is one of the most historical of the Out islands. New Plymouth, Green Turtle's main settlement, with its brightly painted homes, may remind you of a quaint New England town. In the town you'll find the Albert Lowe Museum documenting the history of the island, and a Sculpture Garden with bronze busts of famous Bahamian's living and deceased, along with many historical homes. |
