📍 Destination Overview
Exuma, an island chain in the central Bahamas of some 360 cays, is known for turquoise lagoons and swimming pigs. George Town on Great Exuma keeps colonial buildings; tidal sandbars create brilliant clear seascapes. Pig Beach's sea-swimming pigs are a sensation, and Thunderball Grotto, a Bond-film cave, is snorkellable. The Cays Land and Sea Park protects coral, turtles and rays.
