Consisting of over 360 islands (or cays), Exuma is a fantastic destination for vacationers. The largest of these cays is Great Exuma, known for its exceptional natural beauty and friendly people. While there are many amazing locations to visit and enjoy, the jewel in the crown for Great Exuma is Flamingo Bay.
Just a two-mile drive down from George Town, the largest city, will take you to this quiet scenic location. With luxurious villas, beautiful beaches, and a spectacular coral reef this is the ideal location to soothe your body and soul. The reef, found one mile out from the beach, works as a wave breaker and keeps a huge expanse of water calm and clear. This allows you to walk around on sandy ocean floors and swim or float in peace. Flamingo Bay is not invaded by hordes of tourists, neither is it densely populated allowing for a serene, relaxed and quiet holiday.
You can stroll around the bay and check out the boats or the view of Stocking Island. The island is accessible by Kayak and has overnight accommodation as well. For those who are not adept at kayaking, a ferry is also available. Flamingo Bay Yacht Club and Marina Hotel are located on the Marina itself, in close proximity to Port Lucaya Marketplace. The resort features Ritz Beach water park and the Pirates of the Bahamas Beach theme park if you need a little excitement. If you ever get bored, you can always visit Georgetown or try a game of golf at the 18-hole championship golf course located at Emerald Bay that Greg Norman designed.
Offering fine dining, world-class sport, upscale shopping, and unparalleled natural beauty, Flamingo bay truly is a fabulous vacation destination.
