Bon à savoir sur Exuma

• Exuma est un district des Bahamas de plus de 365 îles et cayes plutôt qu'une seule ville ; George Town, sur Great Exuma, en est le chef-lieu et la plus grande localité, avec une population de quelques milliers d'habitants.
• Great Exuma et Little Exuma sont reliées par un petit pont ; le reste de la chaîne ne s'atteint qu'en bateau ou en petit avion charter.
• Exuma International Airport accueille des vols directs depuis Miami, Charlotte, Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale et Toronto ainsi que Nassau, donc l'arrivée n'est pas obligée de passer par Nassau.
• Staniel Cay et Black Point, dans les cayes du nord, ont leurs propres petites pistes desservies par des compagnies charter et régulières, distinctes de l'aéroport principal d'Exuma.
• Le terminal de l'aéroport est assez petit pour que les passagers embarquent depuis le tarmac par des escaliers, un terminal de remplacement étant en construction.
• Taxis wait outside arrivals at Exuma International and charge fixed fares by zone, so confirm the price with the driver before setting off. Many resorts also offer transfers if you book ahead.
• Allow at least two hours before an international departure. The terminal has basic free Wi-Fi but little food or drink, and it pays to carry some cash in Bahamian or US dollars.
• Traffic keeps left on Exuma and hire cars are often right-hand drive. The roads are getting better but still have plenty of potholes and hazards.
• Bahamas Ferries sails from Nassau to George Town on Mondays, but for now only as a freight service, and it does not go to Big Major Cay, home of the swimming pigs.
• Staniel Cay Airport is an official port of entry with customs and immigration, so arrivals can clear into The Bahamas in the Exuma Cays rather than on Great Exuma.
• Big Major Cay, the swimming pig beach, is reachable only by boat and is a short hop from Staniel Cay. The tourism ministry asks visitors to look but not touch.
• Thunderball Grotto, the underwater cave just west of Staniel Cay, has a hidden entrance that swimmers can pass through at low tide.
• Stocking Island lies across the harbour from George Town and is reached by your own boat or a water taxi from town. Its beach bar, Chat 'N' Chill, can only be reached by boat.
• Tropic of Cancer Beach, named for its position on that line of latitude, is the longest beach on Little Exuma, which is joined to Great Exuma by a bridge.
• The Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, founded in 1958, was the first marine reserve in The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean. It covers 112,640 acres, and no fishing, shelling or conching of any kind is allowed.
• The park office sits on remote Warderick Wells and can be hard to reach. Boaters call "Exuma Park" on VHF channel 09, and channel 16 is monitored 24 hours a day for emergencies.
• Park wardens and Royal Bahamas Defence Force officers stationed at Warderick Wells keep up constant patrols, and visitors are asked to report poaching on channel 09.
