\"abacomap\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong>One of the most recognized landmarks in Hope Town is the famous Elbow Reef Lighthouse that is one of the last manual lighthouses in the world.\u00a0 The lighthouse keeper that\u2019s on duty must wind up the weights every 2 hours in order for the red and white candy-striped lighthouse to be seen from 17 miles away.\u00a0\u00a0 To get an uninterrupted view of the surrounding area, just climb 100+ steps to the top of the lighthouse. Most importantly, make sure you leave your fear of heights at home — just don\u2019t forget your camera to take 360 degree photos of the magnificent surroundings.<\/p>\n

\"Light<\/a><\/p>\n

There are so many things to do in the Abacos such as kiteboarding, kayaking, paddleboarding, scuba diving, conch pulling, bone fishing and of course shelling on any of the beautiful white and pink sand beaches of the Abacos.\u00a0 There are three protected reefs that are great for snorkeling, Sandy Cay Reef, Mermaids Reef and Fowl Cay National Park, which is the largest proteded reef in the Abacos.\u00a0 Don’t forget to pack an extra can of tuna, a few slices of bread, or a Milk Bone and watch the fish as they practically eat right out of your hand.<\/p>\n

\"Abaco-beach\"<\/a>Whether you are looking for a motor yacht, catamaran or sailing yacht Boatbookings.com<\/a><\/strong> is ready to make your dreams come true in the Abacos.\u00a0 Spring Break<\/a><\/strong> is coming up soon and there are still yachts available so book with us soon.\u00a0 We look forward to hearing from you soon!<\/p>\n
