More Info: Oceanfrontier Hideaway on Guana Cay (Key) is truly the most unique beachfront accommodation to be found in the islands of the Bahamas.
Join us on Great Guana Cay on the island of Abaco, relax in comfortable surroundings, walk our spectacular beaches, snorkel the worlds third largest coral reef, or relax by the pool at Nippers beach bar right next door.
Get away from it all ... Abaco is a group of islands where time seems to have stood still, virtually untouched by modern man. There are no crowds, high rises, or casinos to be found here. The pace is relaxing and the dress is casual… A barefoot elegant atmosphere.
Abaco is a group of islands where time seems to have stood still, virtually untouched by modern man. There are no crowds, high rises, or casinos to be found here. The pace is relaxing and the dress is casual… A barefoot elegant atmosphere. Daylight offers a variety of activities, including diving, snorkeling, fishing, island hopping, beach combing, and more. At night, relax under the glistening stars, listen to a local band, or make new friends with others of like mind. The memories created in the Abaco Islands will be ones you will cherish for a lifetime.
Getting Here These islands are a prime choice for a weekend getaway or an extended stay. Several airlines offer daily service to Abaco. Take either a one-hour flight from the East Coast of Florida or a thirty-five minute fight from Nassau or Freeport. There is good connecting service from all destinations around the world.
You would fly to Florida then Marsh Harbour. Once in Marsh Harbour you would take a Taxi to the Conch Inn. Then a 30 min ferry to Guana Cay. On the boat you would radio Troy Albury from Dive Guana, he then will pick you up at the dock.
Nearby Attractions: Cruising These waters have been called the "sailing capital of the world", making for one of the most popular cruising grounds for both pleasure and avid boaters alike. When boating these waters, land is always in sight and the cays are usually no more than 10 to 40 minutes apart, making island hopping a multitude of fun. A popular activity is renting a motor boat. On some of the cays, this is the only form of transportation. The boats are easy to operate and usually have an open hull, center console steering, outboard motor, and bimini top. There are several rental companies throughout the area, offering a variety of sizes to meet your personal needs. Since there are a limited number of boats available, it is always best to make your reservation ahead of time.
Barrier Reef The third largest barrier reef in the world surrounds Abaco, creating a superb destination for divers and snorkelers. The water temperature ranges from 74 to 85 degrees and the outstanding visibility varies between 60 and 200 feet, depending on the weather and season. Many of the colorful underwater sea gardens, coral reefs, and shipwrecks can be reached by swimming 30 to 200 feet from the shore. A rental boat or dive operators provide easy access to areas which are further out.
Real Fishing! Offshore fishing will reel in the "Big Guys" such as marlin, sailfin, dolphin (also known as mahi-mahi and not to be confused with the mammal), wahoo, tuna, and more. Reef and bottom fishing will surely bring a succulent taste to your dinner table, with grouper, snapper, and yellow tail. Test your skills and patience while bonefishing on the flats. There are several local guides throughout the area, with considerable knowledge of the Abaco fishing grounds. The guides offer full and half day excursions, for groups and private charters. Their rates include bait, tackle, boat, and some also include lunch and drinks. For those looking to fish on their own, bait and tackle are sold in the area and rods are available for rent. Fishing is good year round with peak seasons for each species.
Great Guana Cay offers a relaxed setting with a 5 ½ mile beach, extending the length of the island, and superb snorkeling off its shoreline. After a refreshing swim, have a bite to eat at Nipper's Bar & Grill, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean Beach, or stop in at Guana Beach Resort for dinner and enjoy the spectacular sunset.
Beware, you may be nipped and grabbed on this island, with local drink specialties such as the "Nipper" and the "Grabber", both are very potent.

Caribbean Travel Tip Travel Insurance Travel insurance is the best way to protect yourself against financial loss. The most useful plan is a comprehensive policy that includes coverage for trip cancellation and interruption, default, trip delay, and medical expenses (with a waiver for preexisting conditions).
Without insurance, you will lose all or most of your money if you cancel your trip or have to cut it short, regardless of the reason. Default insurance covers you if your tour operator, airline, or cruise line goes out of business. Trip-delay covers unforeseen expenses that you may incur due to bad weather or mechanical delays. Study the fine print when comparing policies.
For overseas travel, one of the most important components of travel insurance is its medical coverage. Supplemental health insurance will pick up the cost of your medical bills should you get sick or injured while traveling.
U.S. residents should note that Medicare generally does not cover health-care costs outside the United States, nor do many privately issued policies.
Residents of the United Kingdom can buy an annual travel-insurance policy valid for most vacations taken during the year in which the coverage is purchased.
If you are pregnant or have a pre-existing condition, make sure you're covered.
Always buy travel insurance directly from an insurance company or agent; if you buy it from a cruise line, airline, or tour operator that goes out of business, you probably will not be covered for the agency or operator's default, a major risk. Before you make any purchase, review your existing health and home-owner's policies to find out whether they cover expenses incurred while traveling.
