Short walk |
Fly to George Town on Great Exuma. About 16 km south of the George Town center. There is only one main road. After you passed the jetty to Little Exuma, keep following the main road. You will see a small sign with West Palm Beach on a wooden pole. Then a small driveway will go downhill to your left, while the main street goes uphill. Park directly at the drive way and see a small, wild area with palm trees and small bushes. Here you can access the small, but beautifully bay.
Extra information
Small launch, for experienced kitesurfers. Extremely friendly and nice people. Be nice and they will help you with everything. Very safe island.
Nightlife
Some small bars, rather quiet island.
