Sea Spray Resort & Marina

Newly renovated 68-slip marina in White Sound with fuel dock and tranquil alternative to busy Hope Town Harbour.

Sea Spray Resort & Marina provides a tranquil alternative to busy Hope Town Harbour, offering 68 secure slips in the protected waters of White Sound on Elbow Cay's southern end. The newly renovated marina accommodates vessels from 20 to 130 feet with dockside depths of 7 feet at low tide, while 30, 50, and 100 amp electrical service meets diverse power requirements.

The resort setting delivers amenities beyond simple dockage, with villas and accommodations available for crews seeking time ashore. White Sound's natural protection creates calm conditions even when weather disturbs more exposed locations, and the fuel dock's gasoline and diesel eliminate the need to travel to Marsh Harbour for refueling.

Marina Facilities

Sea Spray's 68 slips occupy newly renovated docks with modern electrical pedestals providing 30, 50, and 100 amp service. Maximum vessel length is 130 feet, with dockside depths maintaining 7 feet even at low tide. Fresh water, ice, and electricity are available at each berth.

The fuel dock dispenses both gasoline and diesel, a significant convenience given Elbow Cay's limited services. Wi-Fi covers the marina property, and the marina office assists with reservations and local arrangements.

White Sound Protection

White Sound nearly bisects Elbow Cay two miles south of Hope Town, creating a naturally protected basin that shelters boats from prevailing winds and ocean swells. The sound's orientation provides calm conditions for comfortable berthing even when Hope Town Harbour experiences chop.

The protected nature of White Sound makes Sea Spray particularly attractive during frontal passages, when boats in more exposed locations seek shelter. The marina's recent renovations have upgraded the facility to modern standards.

Resort Amenities

Sea Spray Resort surrounds the marina with villas, hotel rooms, and cottage accommodations for those preferring time ashore. The on-site restaurant and bar serve meals with water views, and the pool offers relaxation during hot afternoons.

The resort's Beach Club provides access to Atlantic-side beaches, expanding recreational options beyond the marina basin. Golf cart rentals allow exploration of Elbow Cay's length, from the lighthouse at Hope Town to the southern tip.

Elbow Cay Access

Sea Spray's position on White Sound places Hope Town's historic lighthouse and village approximately two miles north, accessible by golf cart, bicycle, or dinghy via the Sea of Abaco. The southern end of Elbow Cay offers more secluded beaches and snorkeling.

The Albury Ferry connects Elbow Cay to Marsh Harbour, providing access to groceries, marine services, and airport connections. Most cruisers find Sea Spray a calmer, more relaxed alternative to Hope Town Harbour's concentrated activity.
