Access
|
Short walk |
Fly to George Town on Great Exuma. About 27 km north of the George Town center. There is only one main road. After Steventon the road goes downhill a bit, making a left curve (to the right you see a trashy area). The the street curves to the right again and a longer straight comes. Follow it, and turn right into a dirt road which has small signs with `Runaway Bay` on it, just after the dirt road to `Coco Plums`. Park directly next to the beach.

It is a privately owned beach, but like a beach club, with food and drinks. Not always open, but the beach is still accessible. Make sure to take all trash if it is not officially open. Very safe island.
Some small bars, rather quiet island.
