The Hope Town Lighthouse is located on Elbow Cay near the island of Abaco in The Bahamas.
It is one of the few operational kerosene powered light houses in the world. It is also one of only three “manual” lighthouses in the world, requiring someone to use a hand crank to rewind the spring that drives it.
Besides being an important safety beacon for sailors in the area, it is obviously also very picturesque. Plus, you can tour the lighthouse and go clear to the top where the view is pretty amazing!
The lighthouse sits next to a very protected harbor that offers a great place for sailors to weather that next storm.
So, what are you waiting for? Head to the Bahamas for some “fun in the sun”!
