Great Exuma, Bahamas

There are many beautiful places on Earth. You can probably think of a few wonderful locations that you have already visited that make you wish you were there all the time. If you close your eyes, you can probably picture yourself in one of those places right now…

Are you imaging a place with perfect weather—soft breezes and a warm, non-humid temperature? Are you picturing a spot that is not a tourist trap—no high-rise hotels, not over-developed? Is the water an unbelievable, clear aqua-marine color that leaves you staring at the horizon. Does your ideal spot have endless nooks and cays to explore—you feel like you could never run out of things to see and do there?

Exuma is part of the chain of 365 islands that form the Bahamas. These islands stretch lazily across the Tropic of Cancer about 300 miles southeast of the coastal United States. Great Exuma, the largest of the Exuma islands is home to Georgetown, a charming Caribbean city that you must visit . There are flights to the Georgetown airport from Nassau and Miami. See Georgetown map.
