Exuma, The Bahamas

destination

Exuma

Crystal clear and turquoise water, naturally beautiful beaches, sunshine, a lovely sea breeze surrounded by friendly people. It was like the paradise on earth. There’s no place in the world with sand as white and soft as on Great Exuma. Did I already mention the crystal clear water? Probably.

Coco Plum Beach

To be honest, we didn’t have to move too far to see this beach. Our accommodation was in Rolleville in the Northwest of the island and Coco Plum Beach was just a ten-minute beach walk from there.

The ‘Shoreline’ is a little Cabana not far from dreamy Coco Plum Beach offering delicious Conch Burgers and Wraps for decent prices.

Exuma Point Beach Resort

Another good restaurant in the north-west of the island which only serves on the weekends is ‘Exuma Point’. The view of the sea is great, the food (buffet) delicious and the ‘Bahama Mama’ is awesome. Unfortunately, the price-performance is not really good, but visiting it once was great.

Tropic of Cancer Beach

Little Exuma- We rented a car for one day and headed to Little Exuma. Our main destination: Tropic of Cancer Beach which is said to be the most beautiful beach on the island. Of course, we had to check what all the fuzz is about. We were really enchanted by this endlessly long beach with the white and soft beach and the really turquoise water.

Santanna's Bar and Grill

On the one hand, this beach bar fits perfectly in this environment; on the other hand, the food is delicious. It’s located near Tropic of Cancer Beach on Little Exuma. It became famous when Johnny Depp was dropping by when shooting ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ (see above). The view combined with the excellent food makes it a culinary must-visit on your Exuma journey.

Pig Beach

Over the last years, the Bahamas became famous for their Swimming Pigs. For a simple beach holiday, it actually could have been any Caribbean island for us. But seeing the Swimming Pigs was on our bucket list for a long time now – so we booked our flights.

Stocking Island

In the morning, we took the taxi boat from Georgetown and headed to the island. It was a short 10-minute ride. We were just on time with peak season prices: it cost 15$ per person for the return trip. The main attractions for us – next to the island’s beauty – were definitely the stingrays which have found a food source here: the left-overs of the Conch Salad Bar. Stingrays love conch and actually anything else you bring with you. But Conch especially.
