Little Harbour
A Destination With A Dash Of
Off-The-Grid Charm
Just a few minutes from The Abaco Club lies the picturesque oasis known as Little Harbour. It’s here that you’ll find The Abaco Yacht Club, with its dedicated boat slips for club members, along with a members’ clubhouse, sundries shop, and a host of services for boaters. Little Harbour is sheltered on all sides, and quite shallow at low tide. But for boaters, it’s a very special kind of paradise, a hidden enclave that’s at the same time one of Abaco’s worst-kept secrets.
In the 1950’s, Randolph and Margot Johnson settled here with their children, reportedly living in nearby caves while they worked to create a small art community. Randolph Johnson established a foundry here, and became internationally known for his bronze sculptures. The Johnson family still operates the foundry and associated gallery, as well as neighboring Pete’s Pub—an open-air beach bar serving some of the freshest fish and most creative rum drinks on the islands. There’s nothing fancy about Pete’s, as its sand floor and roof constructed of colorful t-shirts and flags will attest. But the excellent food is uniquely Bahamian and well worth a visit.
Fishing
The waters surrounding The Abaco Club are teeming with world-class opportunities for fishing enthusiasts. Trophy bonefish, permit, and tarpon fishing is a serious sport in these parts, and a particular favorite with members and visitors who take to the mangrove flats.
Racquet Sports
Tennis and pickleball is just two forms of active recreation that are extremely popular with Club members. The courts are located in their own, private enclave amongst the palms next to our basketball court, within walking distance of all the homes, cottages, and other amenities.
Dining
With an unwavering commitment to the highest quality, locally sourced ingredients from land and sea—including some from the club’s hydroponic farm—The Abaco Club crafts inventive and fresh cuisine capturing the essence of island-inspired flavors—all with well-curated wine lists and specialty cocktails that round out every occasion.
