Buckingham Beach

Buckingham Beach sits on the Atlantic side of Great Abaco in the Abaco Islands, part of the relaxed resort community of Treasure Cay. It shares the shoreline that made this corner of The Bahamas famous: flour-soft white sand, warm water that turns from pale aquamarine at the edge to deepening turquoise offshore, and a long, gently sloping strand where there is almost always space to yourself. This is the kind of beach visitors describe as "sugar sand with crystal clear water" and a place to "have the whole beach to yourself," prized for its quiet, laid-back atmosphere rather than busy amenities. The shallow, generally calm water makes it easy to wade, swim, float or simply sit and watch pelicans hunt along the tide line. Buckingham Beach works best as a base or a stop within a Treasure Cay itinerary, close to the marina and a short hop from the northern cays reached by ferry.
