Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas

Green Turtle Cay is an island in The Bahamas. It is located in the "Abaco Out Islands" and was named after the abundance of green turtles that inhabited the area. The main settlement is New Plymouth, which was founded in the 18th century. The architecture of the older homes in the village is unique in the Bahamas, with steep-pitched roofs, originating with settlers from New England.

Green Turtle Cay is known for its excellent beaches and has several full-service hotel-resorts with boat marinas. New Plymouth contains a post office, a bank, a customs and immigration office, four grocery stores, several restaurants, bars, and churches and there is a museum featuring the paintings of noted Bahamian painter Alton Lowe.
