Diving, Snorkeling and Swimming

Elbow Cay boasts a a beautiful white sand beach for your swimming and sunbathing enjoyment. The Sea of Abaco shelters a lovely variety of coral gardens, and you'll find interesting snorkeling right off the beach at many locations. Sandy Cay Land & Sea Park is a 2100 acre preserve located a short boat ride south & offers perhaps the best snorkeling & scuba diving in the Abacos. You can bring your own equipment or purchase the basics. There are several professional dive and snorkel tour operators that will ensure you have a fantastic time. Froggies Out Island Adventures in Hope Town and Dive Abaco in Marsh Harbour specialize in all-day island excursions to Abaco’s underwater national parks in their specially equipped dive boats. They also offer air fills, equipment rentals, resort courses and P.A.D.I. certifications.

Fishing

The fishing is excellent -- catch dolphin, wahoo, tuna, grouper, snappers, hogfish, jacks, runners, porgies, grunts or dive for conch or lobster in season. You are just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean or bone fishing in the flats. Reliable local guides are available if you desire.

Kayaking and Sailing

For guided kayak tours, land safaris and bird tours, check out Abaco Outback, the civilized safari. It is safe and easy for all ages and abilities. Owner Ron Pagliaro is a fully accredited bird-touring guide. If you would like to take a day and sail the turquoise waters of the Sea of Abaco, let Captain John take you on a morning, afternoon or all day sail on SkyeLark, or sail with Captain Mark on Lokadune.

Honeymoons and Anniversaries

Elbow Cay is a favorite for honeymooners and anniversaries. Tie the knot in a casual atmosphere on our dock with the beautiful sunset for a back drop. Others have opted for more formal attire on a spectacular sandy beach with swaying palms at high noon. For a really memorable anniversary, re-new your vows in the little white chapel in Hope Town or an intimate gazebo overlooking the ocean with waves crashing in the background. You’ll be welcomed back on every anniversary.
