Imagine the storms this special lighthouse has seen since it was erected in 1864? Thankfully, a bit of good news from The Abacos Islands, it survived Hurricane Dorian.
We loved the classic pink and green interiors of The Elbow Reef Lighthouse on Elbow Cay.
We climbed the 101 swirling steps, just as a Lighthouse Keeper has been doing since 1863 to keep the light burning and turning in one of the last human operated, kerosene burning lighthouses in the world.
If you find yourself in these waters it’s definitely worth stopping at the Lighthouse Marina and make your way to the top.
You’ll be rewarded with amazing views of this charming town and these remote islands.
And, who knows, maybe you’ll even see a rainbow.
But don’t stop at the lighthouse.
Venture into Hope Town and
walk the 1080 {or fewer} yards to take you to see the roaring ocean and pristine beaches on the other side.
Cruise around the bay and take in all of the colorful quaint cottages and docks along the way.
Pull up to Harbor’s Edge, or another waterfront restaurant for a bite and a beverage.
Walk through the town and find Hope Town Canvas where I know you’ll be tempted to pick up a unique bag or two to bring home.
Click on Hope Town to find how to get there, browse cottages and villas to rent and read about many more things to do on the marvelous little island.
