Attractions The Casino at Emerald Bay is located on the Resort's grounds and provides exciting nightly entertainment in a sophisticated, yet casual environment. The 465 square metre (5,000 square foot) setting includes approximately 65 slot machines and 8 table games, including blackjack, craps and roulette.
This is just one of the beautiful beaches to be experienced in Exuma. During low tides walk out for miles into the ocean and search for sand dollars and other treasures from the sea.
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.
City tours The settlement of George Town is connected to Elizabeth Harbour and guests can easily walk through the town. Noteworthy sites are St. Andrew's Anglican Church, located on a small bluff overlooking Lake Victoria; the Straw Market; local craft and clothing stores; and the pastel pink and white neoclassical Government Administration Building.
Scenic day trips 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.
