 How to get there
Transport:
- Car
Access:
- Short Walk


Fly to George Town on Great Exuma. About 27 km north of the George Town center. There is only one main road. After Steventon the road goes downhill a bit, making a left curve (to the right you see a trashy area). The the street curves to the right again and a longer straight comes. Follow it, and turn right into a dirt road which has small signs with `Runaway Bay` on it, just after the dirt road to `Coco Plums`. Park directly next to the beach.
