Things to do
TREASURE CAY began life as humble Carleton Point, a settlement
of six hundred Loyalists who in 1783 fled the newly formed United States, hoping
to develop a major commercial and agricultural centre at the northern end of the
former Sand Banks Cay. Although this didn't necessarily occur, Treasure Cay has
grown rapidly in recent years, and now supports an array of time-share villas,
condos and upscale resorts. Not really a cay at all, but a slender peninsula,
Treasure Cay has its own schools, churches, stores, post office, banks, health
clinic and marina. Its beachfront, stretching four miles along the Sea of Abaco.
If there are 30 people on it, it is considered crowded.
North Americans make up the bulk of the year-round residents of Treasure Cay,
who maintain more than 150 expensive vacation and retirement homes. The
marina is a favourite with yacht sailors, who make use of its huge dock,
featuring a marina store, dive shop, boat rentals, pool, bar and restaurant.
Between Treasure Cay's beach and the outer island of Whale Cay are
several eye-catching turquoise banks that are especially lovely at dawn and
dusk.
Some direct service is
available to the island from Florida. You could also fly into Marsh Harbour and
take a 32km (20-mile) taxi ride north along the paved but bumpy Sherben A.
Boothe Highway.
Treasure Cay also hosts one
of the most popular fishing tournaments in The Bahamas: the Treasure Cay
Billfish Championship in May.
