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.
Edit
Extremely friendly and nice people. Be nice and they will help you with everything. Very safe island.
Edit
Some small bars, rather quiet island.
