Things to do
A short 8 minute drive east you will find the charming and friendly village of George Town. Visit the local straw market, charming boutiques and grocery store. Exuma provides a unique cultural experience. Don't expect casinos, fast food restaurants and designer shopping here. This is a low key, laid back island with none of the hustle and bustle of cruise ship ports and tourist destinations.
Swimming Pigs
Take a day trip by boat to the Exuma Cays. See the famous swimming pigs, snorkel the Thunderball Grotto, swim with nurse sharks at Compass Cay, stop at a deserted island to feed iguanas, walk on a sand bar and see the private islands owned by celebrities.
