Gregory Town is a small Atlantic-side settlement of pastel timber houses on a low ridge, with a tiny harbour and one of the better stretches of Atlantic surf in the country a couple of kilometres south. The annual Pineapple Festival each June draws Bahamians from across the country.
The town has a few bars and small restaurants, including the famous Elvina's, where Lenny Kravitz has been known to drop in for jam sessions. The Hatchet Bay caves, a few miles south, are a worthwhile detour.
