Exuma is the “Official home of the Swimming Pigs”
Travel + Leisure magazine put the swimming pigs on their “bucket list”, The Huffington Post labeled them “adorable”, while the New York Post ran a special feature entirely on how to swim with pigs. And most recently, a video of the bachelorettes swimming with the pigs in an episode of “The Bachelor” filmed at Grand Isle Resorts was viewed five million times in the two days before the episode was broadcast.
