A traditional Bahamian Inn located on the waterfront in Schooner Bay Village, South Abaco.
The Sandpiper Inn features 7 beautifully designed and decorated suites and cottages, and a full-service restaurant & bar. The social center of a village on the water, a place to gather and enjoy authentic island life. Ocean, harbour, dune and forest views from every angle. The ideal spot for access to all The Abacos have to offer – By land or sea.
A real place to getaway to with family & friends to enjoy wholesome experiences and create rich memories. The Bahamas at its Best. The Sandpiper maybe not for everyone, which is what makes us special. Come to Schooner Bay and learn the secret of The Sandpiper Inn.
Designed by renowned Urbanist architect, Bill Harris of Allison Ramsey Design in South Carolina, in part inspired by the lovely architectural patterns one sees in both Harbour Island, Bahamas and Charleston, South Carolina. The Sandpiper Inn is a lovely two-and-half storey traditional Bahamian verandah house with wrap verandahs on two levels and an attic floor dormer porch, all accompanied by two tidy duplex cottages at the rear.
The force and passion behind The Sandpiper Inn at Schooner Bay is not a brand, but a principle of place, people and genuine service that shares real experiences to an enlightened valued few.
We are inspired by the lovely harbourside inns found in the loved villages of the Out Islands and the experiences they afford. We believe the world needs places like The Sandpiper Inn & Schooner Bay Village – for a vacation or for a lifetime – your choice. Why vacation in branded programmed places that are devoid of authenticity or real emotion, where we know neither the origin of our food nor the source of our water? At The Sandpiper Inn, Schooner Bay the experience is real. The people are genuine. The location is of perfect balance.
Only 75 minute flight from Florida’s east coast and 30 minute flight from Nassau, on Great Abaco Island in The Bahamas, a traditional community, a destination, a real place has been born. A tidy harbour village of Bahamian cottages surrounded by both the sea and the Little Bahama banks – with narrow streets, sweeping beaches, rugged dunes, a tropical hardwood forest, where fishing boats rock idly on their moorings and the lively bustle of early evening; parrots call from the forest and neighbors mingle in the streets. Capture all that is essential and nothing that is not.
All accommodations at The Sandpiper Inn feature large ceiling fans, Geo Thermal A/C system, Wi-Fi, and travertine tiled guest and bathroom floors. Additionally, each suite features tray ceilings, his & hers closets, 3-headed shower, double vanities and a large soaker tub.

This suite is spacious and offers amazing panorama views of the harbour, the island, village, forest and ocean from your private balcony.
The Sandpiper Inn restaurant has been designed and developed in collaboration with two internationally accomplished chefs both of whom know The Bahamas well. Open to the public. No trendy cuisine, no fusion, nothing over done or stuffy- just good food. Our cuisine is simple, local, fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly-prepared. In South Abaco, we have the benefit of fresh seafood nearly year-round, complimented by the lovely local and organic produce from Driftwood Farms.
The Sandpiper Inn restaurant offers a European style deluxe continental breakfast complimented by made to order traditional hot items and of course a daily Bahamian favorite such as boil fish, chicken souse, stew conch or “fire engine”. Lunches are fresh, simple and satisfying with an array of salads, deli sandwiches, grilled burgers and fresh fish sandwiches.
Opt for indoor air-conditioned comfort or dine al fresco on the wraparound verandah overlooking the plunge pool and harbour.
South Abaco offers a plethora of outdoor activities from beaching, to most water sports, to eco-adventures on land and sea, including the very popular bonefishing. With the nearby location of the Abaco National Park, popular activities include hiking, park picnics, exploring the park’s caves, and swimming in the famous Sawmill Sink Blue Hole. On property, you will also have access to two yoga decks with water views, a nature trail, a furnished beach cabana, and kayaks. We can arrange as much as or as little as you care to do.
Welcome to The Abacos. Calm waters, warm breezes and panoramic beauty make this chain of islands a boating and sailing paradise. But it’s not just the sea that attracts travelers from around the world. Those who prefer to explore by land will find championship golf courses on Treasure Cay & Winding Bay, charming colonial towns on Green Turtle and Elbow Cays, and countless inns, hotels, restaurants and bars throughout The Abacos.
The Abacos are a group of islands and cays that form a 120-mile–long chain stretching over 650 square miles. British Loyalists left the United States after the American Revolution ended to establish homesteads in The Abacos. The Loyalist heritage remains strong and their presence is still noticeable today in the colonial style homes of Hope Town and New Plymouth. The coastlines are scalloped with bays, coves and protected harbors that feature full-service marinas and resorts. Great Abaco Island and Little Abaco serve as the “mainland.” Marsh Harbour has a lively downtown area with all city amenities. Treasure Cay boasts miles of pristine beaches, including one of the top 10 beaches in the world. Elbow Cay and Green Turtle Cay are old English loyalist settlements, where you’ll find beautifully preserved colonial architecture with a touch of Bahamian pastels, of course. And Guana Cay is famous for Sunday barbecues atop the island’s tall sand dune, which overlooks a magnificent 7-mile–long beach. Schooner Bay is located at the “neck” of south Abaco serving as the gateway to 100,000 square acres of pristine and undeveloped outdoor playground.
