Glenn’s Guide to Exuma

The Incredible Natural Beauty of Great Exuma

The Exuma Cays (pronounced “keys”) are one of the most pristine tropical destinations in the world.

Islands Magazine has recognized Great Exuma as “One of the Top Five Islands in the World on Which to Live”. While the entire Bahamas chain is renowned for its clear turquoise water, the area from the Exumas stretching to the south and east toward the Caribbean is particularly vivid and clear.

Little Exuma resides directly on the Tropic of Cancer allowing sunlight to illuminate the water from a higher angle, reflecting a deeper and more brilliant colour in the shallow water over the pure white sand below.
