About Green Turtle Cay

Green Turtle Cay sits at the northern end of the Abaco chain, approximately a five-minute ferry ride from Treasure Cay on Great Abaco. The island is approximately three miles long and home to a small permanent population alongside a thriving international ownership community. New Plymouth, the island's main settlement, is one of the best-preserved historic towns in the Bahamas with streets lined by brightly painted colonial-era buildings, boutique shops, and waterfront restaurants.

The island has no roads suitable for cars — residents and visitors travel by golf cart, bicycle, or boat, creating a relaxed pace of life that is central to Green Turtle Cay's appeal. The island's two marinas — Black Sound Marina and White Sound — provide excellent protected anchorage and attract boating visitors from across the Bahamas and the United States.

Types of Property Available

Real estate on Green Turtle Cay includes historic cottages and colonial-style homes in New Plymouth, beachfront homes on the Atlantic side with direct ocean access, harbour-front homes and cottages with private docks, waterfront lots for custom home development, and investment properties with established vacation rental histories.
