One of the most beautiful beaches in Exuma, so beautiful it almost seems as imaginary as the line that runs through it. Tropic of Cancer Beach was given its name because of its geographical location. Located on the outskirts of Williams Town in Little Exuma, this beach offers excellent snorkelling.

Stocking Island is a pencil-thin island that lies about 1.6 kilometres (1 mile) off Great Exuma island. Its fine sandy beaches, nature trails, excellent sailing and snorkelling make it the perfect destination for a wonderful day trip. A few hundred feet off Stocking Island, the underwater Mystery Cave offers a scuba adventure. It is part of a 122-metre (400-foot) deep network of caverns below the ocean's surface, part of a system of reefs dating back 3.5 million years. A couple of very casual, open-air eateries are very popular.

A bridge links Great Exuma to Little Exuma, and the old settlement of Williams Town where you can see the remains of its Great Salt Pond and a tall white obelisk that advertised the area's plentiful supplies of salt and fresh water to passing ships in the 19th century. The 970-acre Hermitage Plantation, built by Loyalist settlers, is the last surviving example of many cotton plantations that stood in The Bahamas. On the estate, Cotton House is the oldest building in the Exumas, built in the 1780s.
