Whether you’re staying at our luxurious Villa Oceania or simply exploring the beauty of these islands, here are the top five things you won’t want to miss in Exuma.
1. Swim with the Famous Exuma Pigs
One of the most unique and Instagram-worthy experiences you can have in Exuma is visiting the swimming pigs at Pig Beach on Big Major Cay. These friendly pigs will swim right up to your boat, eager to interact and even take a dip alongside you in the stunning turquoise waters. Be sure to bring some treats (approved for pigs) to feed them while you enjoy this delightful adventure.
2. Snorkel or Dive at Thunderball Grotto
For a thrilling underwater experience, head to Thunderball Grotto, a spectacular cave system featured in the James Bond movie "Thunderball." As you snorkel or dive into the crystal-clear waters, you’ll be surrounded by colorful coral reefs, tropical fish, and other vibrant marine life. The natural beauty of the grotto, combined with the play of light inside the cave, makes this a mesmerizing experience for all ages.
3. Explore the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park
Nature lovers won’t want to miss a trip to the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, a protected marine area renowned for its pristine ecosystems. The park is a haven for marine life and offers some of the best snorkeling and diving spots in the Bahamas. You can also take guided tours to explore hidden beaches, lush mangroves, and wildlife in their natural habitat. This is a great place to learn about the environmental preservation efforts in the Bahamas.
4. Relax at Tropic of Cancer Beach
For a more laid-back, tranquil day, head to Tropic of Cancer Beach, also known as Pelican Beach. This stunning stretch of soft, powdery white sand and shallow blue waters is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing in paradise. It’s a quieter spot compared to some other beaches, giving you the opportunity to unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of Exuma in peace.
5. Visit the Swimming Sharks at Compass Cay
