Munjack Cay epitomizes everything we think of when we dream of escaping northern winters for warm tropical places. As we walked the beaches and our feet sunk well into the soft sand, we could not help but think back to the snow we were surely avoiding up north. Instead of walking a dog through icy snow covered sidewalks, we were being followed by Stingrays as we walked the foamy edge of where ocean meets the sand.

If you are looking for something a little more remote than the southern part of the Abacos, then the islands to the north, including Allans-Pesacola Cay will give you that secluded feel. 

The Abaco swimming pigs, the little known cousins to the Swimming Pigs of the Exumas. And these days a little less in the press due to the pig tragedy in the Exumas. 

Green Turtle Cay, when the name rings in your ears, you immediately want to go there to explore its wonderful hidden treasures, and that warm fuzzy feeling you have for the name, is solidified when you step on its shores.

Excited was an understatement. We were elated, euphoric, ecstatic? Maybe words cannot describe how we felt to be crossing the Gulf Stream into the Bahamas to begin our winter in paradise.
