Exploring Exuma: The Bahamian Archipelago Where The Rich And Famous Are Buying Private Islands

There is a common tagline across various travel guides and tourism brochures for Exuma or the string of islands and cays at the center of the Bahamas—”the only footprints you’ll find on the beach are your own.”

Unlike many other brochures and advertisements for comparable destinations, hyperbole is not at play here. Many beaches across the 365 islands that make up Exuma are free of footprints. The sand is as soft, the water as blue and the scenery as stunning as they say. And yes, there are swimming pigs.
