Exumas: Lots of Islands, New Resorts, Great Boating |
(from www.bahamas.co.uk) The Exumas are made up of 365 islands and cays strung out across more than 120 miles of ocean. The Exumas are home to some of the most dazzlingly beautiful waters in the world.

From the air, these cays look like jewelled stepping stones surrounded by a shimmering emerald sea, making this chain one of the prettiest in The Bahamas. The bright white sand of the deserted beaches contrasts strikingly with the deep aquamarine and jade hues of the water.
Most of Exuma's 3,600 residents live on Great Exuma or Little Exuma, the two largest islands which are connected by a short bridge. These friendly and outgoing people are genuinely happy to welcome holidaymakers. Most Exumians make their living by fishing or farming, with the main crops being onions, tomatoes, pigeon peas, guavas, papayas and mangoes.
Visitors will also find wild cotton growing on Exuma - a testament to the importance of this plant in the island's history.

Once you arrive, your breath will be taken away by the rolling hills, deep blue waters, and fine white-sand beaches. Stretching over 90 miles, these remote islands are still virgin territory waiting to be explored. The abundant coral reefs are perfect for divers and underwater photographers, protected from strong currents to give high visibility in all weather conditions.
