Staniel Cay
The base for island-hopping in the central Exumas, a sleepy village of colorful cottages, a yacht club, and a small airstrip.
Staniel Cay is the most populous island in the central Exumas, with only about a hundred residents. A few paths connect colorful wooden houses, pink and blue general stores, a church, and a small airport. The Staniel Cay Yacht Club is the social hub, offering accommodation and meals, and nurse sharks are often seen feeding beneath the dock in the evening. You can ride a golf cart around the island. Swimming pigs and the Thunderball Grotto are both a few minutes away by boat. Small airplane flights run from Nassau.
