Therefore the island became uninhabited for quite some time, and the <strong>first new settlers<\/strong> came to these islands <strong>after the American Revolutionary War<\/strong> at the end of the 18th century. These settlers established <strong>cotton plantations<\/strong> and funded the city of George Town (to honur the English king, George) on Great Exuma, the largest cay amongst the Exumas.<\/p>\n<p>These settlers found a perfect place, where they lived a calm life protected from the consequences of the American revolution. Some of the cays are still in private hands of the original settler families. Probably the most famous person who lived on these islands is <strong>Rolle Lord John<\/strong>, who after his death left some of his lands to his slaves.\u00a0 The beauty of the Exumas naturally also attracted film directors, therefore it&#8217;s not surprising that several locations were used for Hollywood blockbusters such as Pirates of the Carribean or one of the James Bond movies.<\/p>\n<h2>What to do in the Exumas<\/h2>\n<p>The beaches of the Exumas, in general, have <strong>very calm waters<\/strong>, which make them <strong>perfectly safe to swim<\/strong> for even families with small children. You can swim in the water for hours without too much effort needed to float in the water.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>temperature of the water<\/strong> is <strong>very stable<\/strong> during the year: it never goes below 20\u00b0, but it also hardly goes higher than 30\u00b0, therefore, you can enjoy swimming in this Paradise throughout the whole year.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Exumas<\/strong> also offer great options for those who like <strong>aquatic activities<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a very popular place to go sailing, and the coral reef is also exquisite, if you plan to snorkel or do some great diving. There are some amazing <strong>underwater caves<\/strong>, Thunderball Grotto being the most famous of them, which will undoubtedly be amongst the highlights of your trip to the Bahamas.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23924\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1.jpg?strip=all\" alt=\"Staniel Cay, Exumas, Bahamas\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1.jpg?strip=all 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1-300x200.jpg?strip=all 300w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1-768x512.jpg?strip=all 768w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1-1024x683.jpg?strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1-640x427.jpg?strip=all 640w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1-360x240.jpg?strip=all 360w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=120 120w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=240 240w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=480 480w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=840 840w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=960 960w, https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pig-staniel-cay-exuma-bahamas-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=1080 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How to get to the Exumas<\/h2>\n<p>One of the main reason for traveling to the Exumas is that you can stay in a beautiful, <strong>remote and not easily accessible place<\/strong>, which contributes to feeling yourself in a real Paradise. To get to most places, you <strong>need to have a boat<\/strong>: either you have your <strong>own boat<\/strong> or you will need to <strong>hire a boat<\/strong> to get to many of the places.<\/p>\n<h2>The nicest cays in Exuma<\/h2>\n<p>The choice of beautiful cays you can <strong>visit on a sailing trip<\/strong> is merely infinite, but we give you some ideas for visiting some of the most impressive places in the Exumas.<\/p>\n<h3>Major Cay<\/h3>\n<p>Major Cay is one of the most <strong>emblematic places in the Bahamas<\/strong>, where you can get to swim together with some cute pigs. According to history sailors left these pigs on the islands, but they never came back. Some others say that they were deliberately put there to promote tourism in the area. In any case, there are not many places in the world, where you get to swim with pigs in such crystal clear waters.<\/p>\n<h3>Thunderball Grotto<\/h3>\n<p>The Thunderball Grotto is probably the most photographed natural site, not only in the Exumas, but in the whole Bahamas. A <strong>fascinating cavern<\/strong> where light only enters through the holes in the ceiling. The name of the grotto is the result of the James Bond movie, Thunderball, from which several scenes were recorded in this unique natural location. It&#8217;s a fantastic place for <strong>diving and snorkeling<\/strong>, although you have to be careful, since the currents can be quite strong.<\/p>\n<h3>Norman&#8217;s Cay<\/h3>\n<p>Another <strong>beautiful hideaway<\/strong> is the 6 km long <strong>Norman&#8217;s Cay<\/strong> with its absolutely <strong>amazing beaches<\/strong>. Apart from the beautiful landscape, this cay is also famous for the fact that it was the property of Caelos Rivas, a Colombian drug lord in the 1970s.<\/p>\n<h3>Staniel Cay<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Staniel Cay<\/strong> with its population of less than a 100, is one of the most charming islands amongst the Exumas. There&#8217;s a <strong>tiny village<\/strong> with the essential commodities and some lovely calm beaches there. This Cay is famous for the <strong>great bonefishing<\/strong> you can do there, and it&#8217;s also a great base to visit the Exuma Cays Land &amp; Sea Park, an untouched paradise with colorful marine life.<\/p>\n<p>I am sure that this article will make you want to pack your bag and go to discover the Exumas, this pristine paradise in The Bahamas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are not many countries in the world the name of which is as strongly associated with images of beaches and pure paradise as it is with the Bahamas.
