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


Fly to George Town on Great Exuma. About 5 km north of the George Town center. There is only one main road. Drive along the road and you won't see water for a short while, but there are houses on both sides, and once you drive a bit downhill and can see the water, there is a small dirt road to the right. Turn into it and drive down the paved area and park. Park directly next to the beach on the small parking lot.
