Your vacation home on the Bahamas' Great Exuma Island positions you in one of the world's greatest diving destinations. Reefs verdant with marine life aren't far from the Cays, where you can drift away into bliss in the warm tropical waves.
Lobsters and suckling pig
Lobster treats are delivered delightfully by a Cordon Bleu trained chef at Tropic Breeze. Within earshot of crashing waves, this little shack is all the more sublime for its utter purity and absence of pretension.
Bring your swimming gear to Chat and Chill Bar and Grill. Stringrays soar beneath this conch shack. There's also a volleyball court and stunning beaches in the immediate vicinity. The Sunday pig roast is a local tradition drawing crowds to Stocking Island's miniature harbor.
Loyalist history on the islands
The ramshackle 18th century ruins of George III loyalists to establish a cotton plantation are now grazed by goats. The Hermitage Estate is a fascinating vestige of island history. A beacon and salt marsh are further indications of the island's history in the salt industry.
Rolle Town Tombs date back to the 1700s. They are found in a tranquil spot close by the eponymous town, a monument to the local loyalists. A mother and child are buried beneath a stone bed and, according to stories, Alexander McKay, the widower passed away the following year from a broken heart.
Dive like James Bond
The Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park is famous around the globe as a premium diving destination. Reefs abloom with rich biodiversity and immaculate beaches are accessible only by private boat or charter. It's worth it to explore this 3000 square foot slice of heaven.
Thunderball Grotto gave its name to a Bond movie, and its just as impressive as you'd expect from a blockbuster backdrop. The water is busy with fish flowing hither and thither, making this an unforgettable dive site.
