Established in <strong>17</strong>83, when 1,400<br />
American Loyalists from the New York<br />
state region fled the Revolution and<br />
settled first in Treasure Cay at Carleton<br />
Point. From there, some moved on to<br />
nearby islands. These pioneers<br />
developed the economy of the island<br />
with an expertise in wooden<br />
boatbuilding, a tradition that has been<br />
passed down to present day.<br />
The natural beauty and pristine waters<br />
are major attractions to living in or<br />
visiting Treasure Cay. There are no<br />
pictures that can prepare a visitor for<br />
the awesome site of this beach…its<br />
size, its white powdery sand and those<br />
beautiful blue waters.<br />
Treasure Cay Hotel Resort & Marina<br />
resort’s layout has embraced the nuances of the community. One feels connected to the locals in sharing<br />
grocery store visits, shopping for beachwear, enjoying morning aromas from the bakery and visiting the canvas<br />
shop or post office. There are several locations to “wet your whistle”, from the Spinnaker Lounge to the Coco<br />
Beach Bar and the Tipsy Seagull Bar. The Tipsy Seagull is renowned as the local hot spot that features weekly<br />
live entertainment and dancing ‘til the wee hours. About 100 yards from the water’s edge sits the Coco Beach<br />
Bar & Grill, famous for its Bahamian drink specialties and local grilled favourites. This quaint, nautical facility<br />
features weekly entertainment, picnic tables, lounge chairs, thatched shades and a water sport cabana for Hobie<br />
Cat, kayak and banana boat rentals. The Spinnaker Restaurant is best for upscale dining.<br />
In Treasure Cay one can relax, or be adventurous and go snorkelling, diving or golfing at the championship<br />
course. Treasure Cay had established itself as the #1 spot for catching blue marlin in the Bahamas. In 1996, a<br />
1,030 lb. blue marlin, the second largest ever in the Bahamas, was caught off Treasure Cay. is on display in the<br />
