Marsh Harbour is a town on the Abaco Islands in the Bahamas, with a population of 6,283 at a 2012 count, that serves as the main service hub for the Abacos with a post office, shops and travel agencies, and draws tourists for boating, swimming and snorkelling in the Marls mangrove habitat. On 1 September 2019, Hurricane Dorian made landfall there as a Category 5 storm, tying the 1935 Labor Day hurricane for the highest sustained winds at landfall of any Atlantic hurricane on record, and severely damaged most of the town's structures and infrastructure.
