Exuma Vacation Cottages
Activities
The islands of Great Exuma and Little Exuma are located in the Central Bahamas and extend North West / South East for a distance of 90 miles. The main town is George Town located halfway along the Queens Highway and Hartswell is a 15 minutes drive South East from George Town and close to the bridge joining the two islands.
The Cottages are off the main road and the property extends down to Moriah Harbour and the offshore Moriah Cay.
Moriah Cay is a marine sanctuary, and a deserted, unspoilt island with miles of soft sand deserted beaches, lakes, and mangroves and is a nursery for small fish and turtles. Valerie has kayaks for you to explore this pristine area.
Let me tell you about some of the activities you can enjoy while you are here:
Maybe your first thought is to lay by the heated pool and unwind in this quiet tranquil setting. Enjoy a Kalik, the local beer, or sip on a Bahama Mama; and enjoy a good book. Don't forget the sunscreen.
When you wish to stretch your legs, take a stroll down to the dock and admire the color of the water.
While your at the waters edge you may see some enthusiastic fishermen fly fishing in the shallows catching Bonefish.
