Someday we will visit Exuma or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar. Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!

Exuma

Exuma is a district of the Bahamas, consisting of over 360 islands. The largest of the cays, and the only one with any significant population, is Great Exuma, which is 37 mi in length.

The annual Bahamian Music and Heritage Festival is highly anticipated in The Exumas by tourists and islanders alike. The festival focuses on the food, arts, and music of the local culture.

Exuma was settled in or around 1783 by American loyalists fleeing the Revolutionary War. The expatriates brought a cotton plantation economy to the islands. George Town was named in honour of George III, to whom the settlers maintained their loyalty. A few smaller cays still remain partially or wholly privately owned, albeit they are still referred to as part of the Exuma–Bahamas Cays; they are distinguished by a three-digit suffix number. The best known examples are adjoined cays Exuma 642 and 643, which are suffering from receding shorelines.
