This is the best place on Earth….we have officially decided. We have been to almost all the islands in the Exumas and this is the best. There are mooring balls because it is inside the Exuma Land and Sea Park boundaries. It is hard to get into – only during mid and rising tide can boats with a 5 foot draft enter. And, although it is in the Sea Park, no one ever goes there. We have anchored there 4 or 5 times and have only had another boat there once.
There is a beautiful crescent beach and plenty of hiking. There are surrounding sand bars that are beaches to explore at low tide and most importantly, again, there is no one there! It is fabulous! We let Koa off leash to run amuck as he pleases and we can relax and watch all the other boats pass us by as we enjoy the anchorage all to ourselves.
Always fun for everyone!!
After two days of this peace and tranquility, we usually move on South. We headed this time to Warderick Wells, park head-quarters. We enjoyed a day there, exploring the beaches and meeting some of our fellow cruisers.
Unfortunately, as we are beginning to notice as the trend of this trip, another front was rolling through and we needed to get to a more protected anchorage. So, again, much to our chagrin, we skipped over many of the beautiful Exuma islands and headed South to Staniel Cay, home of the infamous Swimming Pigs.
