Great Harbour cay canal front You've been hearing a lot of buzz lately about Great Harbour Cay in the Bahamas. “But where is it?” you may ask. You've heard of Chub Cay in the Berry Islands? That's the resort island at the southern end of the Berry chain. The one that's popular with yachtsmen and sport fishermen. Great Harbour Cay, located towards the top of the island chain, is the capital of the Berry Islands. That's where you can you buy a condo with dockage underneath with some of the most fertile fishing grounds in your own back yard. This is where you'll find a Bahamian population of 500. The town of Bullock's Harbour has a school, post office, medical clinic, administration office, several small, yet well stocked grocery stores, bars and restaurants. The island of Great Harbour Cay is approximately 7 miles long and 2 miles wide. A powdery white sandy beach runs along its entire east side. When you see it, you'll wonder why you've never heard of this gem of an island. There are some really great homes you can pick up, including a unique marina property overlooking the Bay of Five Pirates. Great Harbour Cay's the best kept secret in the Bahamas. Many second homeowners have built their dream home along the 7 mile beach, or overlooking the Bay of Five Pirates, the island's hurricane protected basin. The homes vary from cozy weekend retreats to beautiful luxury canal front treasures. The Great Harbour Cay Marina is located in the hurricane protected hole. It has 70 boat slips for yachts up to 120 feet. Rapidly growing in popularity with the boating crowd, the Great Harbour Cay Marina draws bone fishing, sport-fishing and spearfishing enthusiasts, not to mention the mega yachters. It doesn't take long for many of these marina guests to make the transition from visitor to second home owner. Where else can you keep your boat safely moored, have amenities such as an airport with direct daily flights, a 9 hole golf course, restaurants, golf cart and boat rentals, stores, weekly mail boat service and barge service from Florida? Did I mention the beautiful beach, fantastic fishing and diving, friendly people and virtually zero crime ONLY 120 miles of South Florida?
