Little Hog Cay Summary,
Accommodations, Features & Maps
Little Hog Cay is
a completely private, 20 plus acre barrier island in the Northern
Bahamas
with unique, protected lagoon for swimming, three beautiful
white-sand beaches and land
elevations to 30 feet. The island is located in the Hog Cays, one
mile from mainland Abaco
or five minutes from the airstrip and full service marina at
Spanish Cay and is centrally located
between the top four Abaco sportfishing destinations.
( Walker`s Cay, Green Turtle Cay,Treasure Cay and Marsh Harbor)
Dockage: Little
Hog cay is the only private island in North Abaco with completely
protected
deep-water dockage. The island is approached from the Abaco Sound
carrying depths of
12 feet or more at low tide. A 90 foot channel leads to a fully-
enclosed 30 by 155 slipway
with depths of 8 feet at low tide. Outside the slipway, on the
Sound,a double-point Manta
Mooring System is installed. In addition, it is possible to
anchor shallow-draft vessels inside
the lagoon, the entrance of which (located on the Atlantic Ocean
side), carries 6 feet of draft
at low tide.
Power: Primary
power is provided by a maintenance-free solar powered electrical
system with
a brand- new array of 6 Kyocera 120W, 12V solar-power panels and
an 820- Amp hour bank
of Rolls batteries. Additional power is supplied by a 19KW
Perkins diesel generator with 275
gallons fuel storage. Power is controlled by a marine electric
distrubtion panel running through a
2500W trace inverter and control system.
Layout: The
1000-foot wide lagoon, situated near the western end of the
island, divides Little
Hog Cay into two seperate parcels connected by a raised gravel
road. The more developed
west end is about 1.5 arces with two beautiful, 75 meter white
sand beaches, the studio home,
beachfront guest cabana and power shed. The practically
undeveloped east side is a forested
parcel of high hammocked, mangrove and high coral ridges,
covering approximately 20 arces,
including the beautiful 220-meter East Beach of the lagoon. On
this side, the island`s orginal
master home site with its own 40 by 28 foot concrete
cistern/foundation overlooks the Sound,
Lagoon and slipway.
Getting to Hog Cay: By
private plane to our neighbor Spanish Cay is definitely the
quickest way
for a visitor to reach Hog Cay-about 15 minutes by boat. They
have thier own customs man there.
Spanish Cay is privately owned by Americans and they are very
good neighbors. Our guests also
fly into Treasure Cay and take a taxi to the bay opposite us and
we run across and pick them up
at the road, that`s a 20 minute taxi ride then 10 minutes by
boat. But, when we have no one to
pick us up, we usually take a commerical flight into Treasure Cay
airport and pick up our skiff at
Green Turtle Cay--that`s 40 minutes by boat.
