Getting To the Exumas
Where is Exuma? --- The Bahamas!
The Exuma Islands are an archipelago of 365 islands and cays -- and home to some of the finest boating, fishing and diving in the world. The wide variety of underwater topography, coral reefs and shipwrecks makes it one of the most spectacular places. Exuma is approximately 57 miles long and 5 miles wide at its widest section. The Island is 585 nautical miles Southeast of Miami and is within a few miles of the Tropic of Cancer. George Town is the hub of activity for the island and is located on beautiful Elizabeth Harbor, home of the National Family Island Regatta.

Food
It is wise to bring an ice chest with a supply of meat that will get you through the length of your stay. Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Steaks, or Chicken Patties. We have a barbeque grill available. Most airlines do not accept dry ice, so you will have to freeze and pack the meat in regular ice or in a collapsible cooler. Specialty foods should also be included.
