Elbow Cay is a beautiful, tranquil retreat, a place to get away from the rest of the world and relax, but the area surrounding Elbow Cay is full of fun and adventure not to be missed. Below are just a few activities and places of interest in the surrounding area, accessible by rental boat or the ferry.
Visit Marsh Harbour and try Mangoes for a nice Restaurant, and tell the bartender Peter we said hi. You can also visit Harriett at Curly Tails by the ferry dock. Wally’s is a great place for a more upscale meal, and Snappa’s and Mangoes are good for cocktails or more casual dining. You can also stock up at Bristol’s Liquor Store on your way back to the ferry.
