Fly to George Town on Great Exuma. About 19 km north of the George Town center. There is only one main road. It's the Four Seasons Hotel's beach.
Edit
Since it is the beach of the Four Seasons Hotel, be careful with the other hotel guests. It is recommended to ride here only, if you are a guest. If you are not, do ask before you go on the water for permission. Very safe island.
Edit
Some small bars, rather quiet island.
