Must-Do Activities and Recommendations

Exuma offers a wealth of activities, stunning beaches, and unique experiences for visitors. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make the most of your time:

Sunny tropical beach with white sand, turquoise water, and palm trees; two lounge chairs under umbrellas.

Cocoplum Beach

  • Timing: Check the tides using the Steventon tide table. Cocoplum is most beautiful at low tide, making it easier to find sand dollars.
  • What to Do: Walk to the right until you reach the sandbar. There’s a food shack run by a chef offering excellent food and drinks—don’t miss the tropical bread pudding (note: it’s closed on Sundays).
  • Nearby: Walk or drive to Shoreline Restaurant and Bar. Relax in their hammocks and enjoy the best fish tacos, wings, and drinks. If walking, head left when facing the water.

Chat and Chill on Stocking Island

  • Highlights: Spend the day petting stingrays and enjoying the lively atmosphere.
  • Sunday Special: Don’t miss the pig roast.
