Marsh Harbour, Commercial hub in Abaco Islands, Bahamas.
Marsh Harbour is a commercial town on the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas with several harbors filled with boats and sailing vessels. The waterfront serves as the center of activity, where restaurants, shops, and services cater to both visitors and residents.
The town was founded as a trading center for the surrounding islands and grew into an important port. A major hurricane caused severe damage in 2019, but the community rebuilt afterward.
The town center displays Caribbean craft shops where handmade goods and local artistry shape the everyday shopping experience. These stores reflect how residents blend traditional skills with contemporary commerce.
The airport connects the town to other islands, while the downtown area has supermarkets, banks, and a medical clinic. Most shops and restaurants are within walking distance, and the harbor provides docking facilities for boats.
The mangrove forests near town form natural mazes of roots and shallow waters that have long attracted fishermen. These waters draw anglers looking for bonefish and other species.
