Cherokee Sound
You can visit Cherokee Sound by boat or car. It is a quaint seaside community with sidewalk like streets and beautiful old clapboard homes. Tie the boat up at the public dock just past the gas station. There is a grocery store if you need anything, always call before you go to be sure they are open (242-366-2022). They have opened a Deli in the grocery store. Sometimes they have homemade goodies, like Jams, Jellies, Pies or Bread. They also sell T-Shirts and a few souvenirs, etc.
There are two churches you can attend in Cherokee Sound. The Ebenezer Methodist Church or The Assembly Of God. The Ebenezer Church is a beautiful old building that was build out of cut limestone rock and was beautifully restored by the community in recent years.
Don’t miss the Long Dock! It is the longest wooden dock in the Bahamas and so it is appropriately named. It has been lost in many hurricanes but the men in the community always pull together to rebuild it.
There is also a monument in memory of the fisherman that have been lost at sea.
Point of Spit
The island directly across the bay in front of the Key Lime Beach House is Point of Spit. It is a great place to sit and relax, cook a hotdog or hamburger or even bbq chicken. A great picnic spot. In the summer time we often meet with neighbours there on a Friday night to grill and have a cocktail or two.
Viewing The Beautiful Abaco Parrot
The best time to look for the Abaco Parrot is early morning and late afternoon. Recently we have seen the Parrots in Casuarina Point. You can usually hear them squawking before you see them. The Abaco Parrot is very interesting. Here on the Bahamas National Trust website you will find details.
