Why this trip
Swimming pigs in the middle of the water, sharks gliding through the shallows, and sand so fine that it squeaks underfoot: Exuma is a chain of islands that sounds like pictures and is even calmer in real life. For a lifelong wish on the beach it is a place with room. At Forbes Hill Beach and Exuma Point Beach you find beaches that are not crowded, and by boat you reach small cays where you are alone. At Da' Secret you stop for local cuisine.
The best time is from November to April, when hurricanes are rare and the air stays dry. Harbour Island lies as a neighbour on the map and complements the trip with a pink beach and wooden houses. US dollars are accepted like the local currency, and outside large resorts cash is sometimes needed. Because the distances between the islands are long, the boat trip remains a fixed day.
A unique occasion such as a honeymoon deserves at least a week. Accommodation is scarce, so the travel period should be fixed early in the plan.
