Fly to George Town on Great Exuma. About 22 km north of the George Town center. There is only one main road. Park directly next to the beach on the small parking lot in front of the Big D's beach shack.
Edit
The launch can be difficult with some hazards, so recommended to experts only. Extremely friendly and nice people. Be nice and they will help you with everything. Very safe island.
Edit
Some small bars, rather quiet island.
