Seasonal Treasure

Protected Paradise

The Exuma Land and Sea Park, established in 1958, is one of the world’s first marine protected areas. No fishing, no anchoring on reefs—just pristine, thriving ecosystems.

Why This Matters: Protected waters mean healthier, more abundant wildlife. The marine life here is more diverse and less skittish than anywhere else in the Caribbean. You’ll experience nature the way it was meant to be.
