Why Great Guana Cay?
Special People, Amazing Sunsets
When it comes to choosing a vacation destination we know the list of possible locations is endless. But Great Guana Cay is unlike any other island or tropical paradise you've ever visited. Our friendly and welcoming people make this place feel like a home away from home and our beautiful white sand beaches, delicious food, amazing sunsets, and activities makes this an escape like no other. 7 miles of long, white sand beaches in the center of the Abaco Islands, Great Guana Cay allows visitors to relax with a book on the beach, belly up at Nippers or Grabbers Dock & Grill, or enjoy activities like sailing, fishing, snorkeling, or diving.
