Nothing says “tropical vacation” quite like a trip to the Bahamas; with clear, turquoise waters, white sandy shores and warm temperatures year round, it’s not hard to see why. Green Turtle Cay is a barrier island of the Bahamas and offers its visitors a plethora of options when it comes to things to do. Enjoy a day of snorkeling, boating, and swimming and be sure to check out the Albert Lowe Museum while on the island. While the island is small, being only about 3 miles long (4.8 km), there are plenty of options when it comes to lodging choices. For the best selection, be sure to check out the best Vrbo accommodations on Green Turtle Cay, the Bahamas.
