Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas, a private island in the Abacos Islands of the Commonwealth of Bahamas, about 80 nautical miles northeast of Nassau, is known for its pristine natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere. Named for the green turtle introduced by European settlers in the 17th century, the island is now a perfect blend of ecotourism and history. It boasts pink and white sandy beaches, crystal clear Caribbean waters and a rich coral reef ecosystem for snorkeling, deep diving and viewing marine life such as green turtles and schools of tropical fish. The island retains a cluster of New England-style buildings, such as century-old churches and art galleries, and visitors can stroll among the colorful wooden houses and feel the tranquility of the colonial era. Representing the "outer islands" of the Bahamas, Green Turtle Cay offers a deeply immersive island experience away from the hustle and bustle of the Bahamas, making it an ideal destination for those seeking both natural and human charms.
