Exuma

Highbourne Cay was a refuge for escaped slaves during the colonial era and home to a stunning, scarcely visited beach along the east side. The Island sits at a slightly higher sea level than is found on most Bahamian islands, so it shouldn't be hard to spot. Peer over the dock to see a swarm of nurse sharks flocking to one spot like birds seeking bread as the local dockhands throw unwanted conch—aka “slop”—into the water.

Jimmy Buffett listed the Staniel Cay Yacht Club in his Top 10 Island Bars and most will agree it is the “Shangri-La” of the Exumas. One of the tourist attractions is diving into the cave where parts of the James Bond movie Thunderball were filmed. It’s also possible to visit a small local cay called Big Majors, where there are swimming pigs. Take your dinghy and motor to Big Majors, where the wild swimming pigs love leftover conch fritters or any food you want to give them.
