LITTLE HARBOUR is a secluded, tranquil, fully-protected anchorage on the island of Abaco, Bahamas. It has a beautiful sandy beach which runs around a harbour that usually holds quite an interesting array of boats.  It also has deserted lighthouse on the northeast side . North Beach has an incredible coral reef to explore and rock cliffs form caves on the western side of the harbour. 

It is out of the way, the nearest airport and shopping areas are in Marsh Harbour, twenty miles to the north. Groceries and supplies must be brought in from Marsh Harbour or Cherokee Sound. Telephone service is available in Cherokee, a few miles to the south. We will be happy to assist you in acquiring transportation to Little Harbour from the airport. Your options are one of local taxis, a rental car or boat. 


Randolph and Margot Johnston, with their three sons, made Little Harbour their home during the mid-1950's and founded an art colony. The community has now grown to twenty three homes with both full and part-time residents. Internationally known for his lost wax castings in bronze, Randolph died in 1992. His son, Pete Johnston, has carried on at the foundry, creating incredible life-size marine bronzes, furniture and gold jewelry inspired by local motifs. 

A gallery, shop and the foundry are open to the public and Pete's Pub, an open-air bar serving lunch and drinks on the beach, offers up lots of local color. 

Also artist in residence Robert Zwickel makes his winter home in Little Harbour. Check out his Art Galleries, they include many watercolours of the area. Conditions permitting he also makes his cottage Orchard Reach availible for short term rentals.
