Great Exuma holidays Vacation rentals - villas, condos & holiday homes to rent
Great Exuma is the largest of the 365 islands and cays that make up The Exumas and linked to its sister island Little Exuma by a bridge. With sapphire-blue water everywhere, Great Exuma is an exotic island with footprint-free beaches and ultra exclusive beach front properties that make a vacation here a tropical paradise.
Whilst there is the option of doing absolutely nothing apart from chilling out on a deserted beach, Great Exuma, unlike some places in the Bahamas, is fairly lively especially around George Town and Elizabeth harbour. Either for lunch or dinner, there are several fantastic informal beach bars and restaurants serving exquisite local dishes such as lobster, souse chicken and cracked conch. "The Fry" just outside of George Town is a collection of food stalls serving up authentic dishes - its great evening entertainment.
