Originally home to buccaneers and pirates, who plied their larcenous trade from hiding places in amongst the coves and inlets of these rocky isles, the 365 islands of the Exumas, spread across 140 miles of luminescent turquoise sea, have always held a fascination for lovers of the sea and for anyone who enjoys a good story and a great laugh. While Blackbeard and Henry Morgan may no longer sail along these shores, the cays and spits of land that dot the incredibly clear, teal waters still offer a whole cornucopia of quirky sights, seafaring adventures and exotic thrills.
Gaze in awe at the remarkable sight of a deep and narrow channel, just offshore, flowing so powerfully that it creates its very own version of river rapids in the midst of the sea. Navigate your golf cart along secluded pathways, cut through luxuriant tropical foliage. Let Fowl Cay’s incredibly luminescent waters, untouched powdery sands and stunning natural beauty unlock the age-old allure of the Exumas.
Staniel Cay
Skim across the impossibly clear, glass-smooth waters around Fowl Cay and you’ll soon come across some of the most eccentric and breathtaking islands in the entire hemisphere. Discover the funky appeal and laid-back charm of Staniel Cay, with its rustic, Key-West-style watering hole (listed on Jimmy Buffet’s Top Ten Favorite Island Bars), its full-service marina and its vividly-hued cottages perched on the side of a hill.
Big Major Spot
Hop across to neighboring Big Major Spot and marvel at the curiously graceful water ballet of the island’s rotund wild pigs, who paddle out to greet your boat and perform pirouettes in the translucent water.
