Attractions
- Swim with the pigs on Pig Beach. Whenever a boat arrives, they swim out to it and expect to be fed, a practice that's been going on for years.
- Thunderball Grotto is a fantastic underwater cave system great for snorkeling, diving, and wading. It is teeming with colourful, exotic marine life. Named after the James Bond film which was shot here.
- Stroll the "Mile-long Sandbar", a stretch of pure white sand that emerges from blue-green water at low tide and is perfect for shelling, sunbathing and picnicking.
- There are thousands of miles of invitingly soft, white-sand beaches stretching along the length of the chain, cays and inlets, for relaxing or exploring by foot and by boat. The shallow, crystal-clear waters provide one of the prettiest settings for snorkeling in the entire Bahamas.
