Sugar Shack, Hope Town, Abacos

Looking for “sweet treats and eats” while strolling around Hope Town on Elbow Cay?

You might want to make a stop at the Sugar Shack located on the 2nd floor of a very brightly colored building in the middle of Hope Town.

We’d become aware of the Sugar Shack while researching things to see and do in Hope Town and were drawn to the Sugar Shack’s colorful and delicious looking posts on Facebook and Instagram. The pictures are mouthwatering and can make you hungry even when you’re not.

The shop itself is a treat for the eyes. Filled with cotton candy like colors and fun signs, we felt like kids in a candy shop.

While we didn’t have a chance to sit down and enjoy one of their delicious looking lunch offerings, we did cool off with a cold and creamy bowl of ice cream while sitting on their 2nd floor deck, with a beautiful view of the harbor and the red and white striped Hope Town Lighthouse.

Hope Town Harbour Lodge, Elbow Cay

While exploring the pretty little town of Hope Town on Elbow Cay during our recent sail through the Abacos, we passed a lovely place called the Hope Town Harbour Lodge. Feeling a bit parched, we noticed a sign out front for the Reef Bar & Grill and thought we’d check to see if we could sit down and enjoy a delicious rum drink, or even an ice cold Sands.

Not only did we enjoy a refreshing and tasty rum punch at the Reef Bar & Grill overlooking the beautiful beach out back, but we enjoyed the chill ambiance of Hope Town Harbour Lodge. The grounds were manicured, the pool inviting, the beautiful beach even more inviting, the pretty cottages painted in bright Bahamian colors, and the people – so friendly and welcoming.

If we are lucky enough to return to Elbow Cay someday, the Hope Town Harbour Lodge is certainly the type of place we’d love to stay.

Sunday Serenity: Morning in Green Turtle Cay

Recently we spent a week sailing the out islands of The Abacos, Bahamas. Well, actually it was more motoring than sailing as during our visit, the Sea of Abaco happened to be unusually calm.

One of the cays we were able to explore was Green Turtle Cay. About mid-way down the chain of cays that fringe the larger island of Abaco, Green Turtle Cay measures about 3 miles long and 1/2 mile wide. Exploring Green Turtle Cay is done easily by golf cart or bike.

During our sail, we’d awake each morning and snap a quick picture of the scenery through our porthole. The morning we awoke on Green Turtle Cay, the morning “porthole pic” was well, amazing! The water was so still that it created a perfect reflection of the colorful morning sky.

We’ll be writing more soon about our explorations on Green Turtle, but for now we’ll leave you with the Green Turtle Cay Morning Porthole Pic…
