Arguably the most beautiful yachting venue in the world, Exuma
boasts pristine reefs, stunning beaches and excellent anchorages.
 Exuma consists of two main islands, Great Exuma & Little Exuma and
about 365 little cays located in the center of the Bahamas Islands
chain. The Bahamian Iguanas live there and the 176 square mile Exuma
National Land & Sea Park is located there-famous for diving and
yachting.
The island of Great Exuma is the largest of these islands with its
main town of George Town being the administrative center. Elizabeth
Harbour is snuggly protected between Great Exuma and the offshore
islands of Stocking Island, Elizabeth Island and Guana Cay and
provides the most exquisite cruising area in the western hemisphere.
The Harbour extends for about ten miles and includes some of the
best soft white sand beaches in the world plus coral reefs perfect
for snorkeling in depths of less than ten feet and water
temperatures always above 75 degrees.
Bahama Houseboats is based at George Town where you will obtain your
provisions and sample a "Kalik" the local, very tasty beer.
In Georgetown, the quaint capital, visit the Straw Market under the
big African fig tree for locally made Bahamian souvenirs or stroll
around Lake Victoria and absorb the local way of life.
The Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park is home to several rare birds,
exotic reptiles, colourful fish and breathtaking species of flora.
Snorkellers will find the wide, shallow coastal region teeming with
life and easy to explore, while divers can explore the huge coral
reef or Exuma Sound which is filled with caves, blue holes and
shipwrecks.
Beaches, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, kayaking,
sailing and shelling are just some of the activities. Try the Peace
& Plenty Resorts.
Holidays in Exuma can be enjoyed all year round. The winters tend to
be drier with daily temperatures between 75° F and 85° F. Summers
are between 80° F and 90° F. |
