The story

Devour The Beach in Green Turtle Cay

Devour the Beach is a multi-day beachfront food and film festival on Green Turtle Cay, Abaco, pairing local and visiting chefs in sand-side cooking demonstrations and tastings with film screenings tied to island life. Reachable only by ferry from Treasure Cay, the event uses New Plymouth's Loyalist-era streets as a backdrop, making lodging and boat-crossing planning as important as the food program itself.

Devour the Beach turns Green Turtle Cay into a multi-day showcase of Abaco cooking, staged directly on the sand and built around chef demonstrations, tastings and film screenings rather than a single meal or market.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The pairing of beachfront cooking demonstrations with film screenings is unusual among Bahamian food festivals, giving Devour the Beach a curated, festival-circuit feel rather than the market-stall format common to most out-island food events

02

The mystery stays covered

New Plymouth's preserved Loyalist-era cottages and grid of narrow lanes supply a backdrop few culinary festivals can match, and because Green Turtle Cay is ferry-only, the event stays intentionally small in scale even as its production values, participating chefs and ticketed sessions have grown

03

The city starts moving

The result favors visitors willing to plan a boat crossing and book lodging early over last-minute day-trippers
