 Exumas
Shades of jade, aquamarine and amethyst in
deeper waters turning to translucent opal
near sandy shores … water and land seemingly
inseparable … secluded beaches opening onto
tranquil cays...
The Exuma islands are a string of islands
and cays that form a pearl necklace of long
forgotten hideaways, natural harbors and
secluded beaches, that span over a hundred
miles of clear blue water--a new island for
every day of the year. The Exuma chain
comprises about 360 or more cays, that
stretch for about 130 miles beginning 30
miles southeast of New Providence.
Home to the Bahamas National Trust’s Exuma
National Land and Sea Park--one of the
largest underwater and land preserves, Exuma
is a nature lover's paradise kept in its
original pristine setting.
The
Park consists of underwater limestone and
coral reefs, drop-offs, blue holes, caves
and marine life, and is home to the Bahamian
iguana, a giant lizard-like creature.
Diving gives your the opportunity to see
thriving, well-preserved sea life. As you
dive into the warm, clear water, you’re sure
to see a plethora of starfish and beautiful
reefs.
Dog Rocks Reef is known as one of the best
dives in the Bahamas. The reef starts at 35
feet and slopes down to 50 feet before
dropping straight into Exuma Sound. If you
like to identify fish, you will marvel at
the wide variety found here.
