Fodor's Expert Review Sandpiper Inn

Great Abaco Island, Bahamas Fodor's Choice

With harbor views, luxuriously decorated rooms and suites, and the only restaurant and swimming pool in Schooner Bay right downstairs, this quaint bed-and-breakfast inn is the perfect spot for visitors who want to be taken care of. Three suites are located in the main three-story house, while the rooms are situated in two small cottages right out back. Two beaches—one perfect for lounging or paddleboarding (just grab a board and head into the water), the other great for snorkeling—and a 50-acre protected forest with well-marked walking trails are all just a quick golf cart ride or five-minute walk away. The Medicine Chest bar is a fun gathering place for inn guests as well as boaters docked in the harbor out front. The Dining Room is the only full-service restaurant in the community serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The menu is often determined by what looks good at the community farm and they use as much locally sourced product as possible. Live Bahamian music sets the scene on Sunday.
