Good winds almost all year coming mainly from NE and E. Lighter winds in summer. The bay curves, making NW onshore to the east and N onshore to the west end. Very safe bay if you can't stay upwind yet.

Short walk |
Fly to George Town on Great Exuma. About 25 km south of the George Town center. There is only one main road. Drive south all the way, pass the jetty and get onto Little Exuma. Once the street is just straight and goes uphill, look out for a power line that crosses the street from the poles on the left side of the street. And if you see an abandoned house to the right, and a power cable pole with some blue reflectors on it, then you found the correct dirt road to the beach, which exits to the left. Drive it all the way to its end (about 600m) until you see the beautiful beach right in front of you.
Extra information
Extremely friendly and nice people. Be nice and they will help you with everything. Very safe island.
Nightlife
Some small bars, rather quiet island.
