Another cold, dark day calls for a little vacation dreaming. Hopetown is my go-to dream. I traveled here with my family when I was younger and have idolized the beaches, water, and adorable town, ever since.
Hopetown is located on Elbow Cay in the Abacos. It's not a popular tourist destination because it's a bit tricky to get to. All the better. Visitors fly into Marsh Harbor and take a short ferry ride to Hopetown. Once there, locals travel by foot, boat, or golf cart.
If Beau and I were visiting, I think we'd stay in one of these teeny tiny bungalows. This one sits right on the beach.
This one sits on a small island just outside of Hopetown. It includes a boat with rental.
This place sits right in the harbor, with a great view of the anchorage.
This place is a little more expensive, but on the gorgeous Tahiti beach with a private dock.
We'd do lots of fishing and snorkeling, and spend the afternoons at Abaco Inn, where I recall they make a delicious Pina Colada.
I had a virgin colada the last time we were there, but I'm sure it would be just as tasty the traditional way!
Loved looking at the pics of Elbow Cay. We stayed at Abaco Inn (kayaked to Tahiti beach from there); enjoyed the sound of the crashing surf, snorkeling, and walking or golf-carting the entire island. Aunt Judy
