Exuma Island of the Bahamas.
The Exuma Islands are located in the middle of The Islands Of The
Bahamas, yet remain mostly undisturbed. The Exuma Islands are a
collection of some 365 cays and islands stretching over 120 miles,
supported at the southern end by two main islands, Great Exuma and
Little Exuma. The main attractions for visitors to The Exuma Islands are
its world-class sportfishing and boating. The miles of picturesque
islands, cays and hidden coves make for some of the most spectacular
sailing in The Islands Of The Bahamas, both for recreational sloops and
competitive yachting alike.
The average year-round temperature is a perfect 78°F, and the rolling
hills, wide sandy beaches and brilliant, clear blue waters give life to
some of the earth's more spectacular creatures. The Exuma Cays Land and
Sea Park is home to several rare birds, exotic reptiles, colorful fish
and breathtaking species of flora. Snorkelers will find the wide,
shallow coastal region teeming with life and easy to explore, while
divers can explore the huge coral reef or Exuma Sound which is filled
with caves, blue holes and shipwrecks.
The population of The Exuma Islands is only about 3,600, most of whom
rely on farming, fishing and tourism for their livelihood. The island is
dotted with ruins of earlier settlements, outdoor markets, and quaint
farming communities. Fresh pineapple, tasty tomatoes, juicy guava, sweet
mangoes, huge avocados and pigeon peas are the pride of the island and
are exported nationwide. The Exuma Islands also claim bragging rights to
their place in Hollywood, having twice been the location for James Bond
films -- more than any other island in The Islands Of The Bahamas.
