Great Exuma: Things to see and do

  • Swim with pigs. Big Major Cay is home to these “domesticated” animals. Whenever a boat arrives, they swim out to be fed. Although the pigs are friendly, be aware that they are still wild!
  • Visit Moriah Harbour Cay, National Park. Covering 13,440 acres, the park is a vital part of the ecosystem between Great and Little Exuma. It includes dunes, beaches, mangroves, and seagrass beds. Nesting seabirds call it home and serve as a nursery for marine life.
  • Explore Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park.
  • Relax on the mile-long sandbar just south of Big Farmer’s Cay. This is a mile-long stretch of dazzling white sands that emerges from the blue-green water at low tide.
  • Day trip to Bitter Guana Cay, also known as Iguana Island, and make friends with some of the island’s inhabitants, the Bahamian Rock Iguanas.
  • Golf. The Great Exuma golf course at the Emerald Bay Sandals resort. Golf legend Greg Norman designed this ocean-side championship golf course.
