George Town Vacation Rentals

George Town & the Exumas is a great place to visit and enjoy all of its natural beauty and culture. Living here all for all of my life, we enjoy... The national family island regatta during the last week in april, which features "bahamian" built wooden boats racing for four days and lots of bahamian food, music and culture during the day and night. It was first started over fifty years ago and is the biggest and best in the bahamas. The music heritage festival for a week in march the tourism board of Exuma has a festival which features bahamian music with live bands and shows. During this week one can enjoy all the great bahamian foods, local drinks, such as gully juice(gin & coconut water), a large varity of breads, cakes, tarts,fish prepared in a varity of dishes, conch salad and crack conch and foods from the best of Exumas kitchens. Arts and crafts are on display and available for sale. There are original painted pictures, straw weaved baskets, bags and dolls, hand carved native wood of people, birds, fish. There is jewelry and other ornaments made from conch shells. The party starts in the morning and ends when everyone goes home(?). The many beaches Exuma has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and there are lots of them for "everyone". There are "no" privet beaches in the bahamas. One can enjoy a large selection of beaches in Exuma regardless of where you chose to live. Shelling, snorkeling and sun bathing is what visitors enjoy most on and around our white powder sand beaches and crystal clear waters. Fish any style In Exuma you can enjoy fishing for game or food. Fly fishing on the flats for bonefish, deep sea fishing in the atlantic ocean for big game fish of a large varity, hand line fishing from a boat or the waters edge for grouper, snapper, hog fish and lots more. Diving in depths of water from ten feet to sixty feet, one can catch crawfish, conch and a varity of fish with a hawaiian sling and spear, if your shot is good. The Exuma Cays Exuma has 360 small cays(keys) in its chain of islands which is a must for the adventurer. Leaving Exuma by boat and traveling north, one can full their day with swimming with fish, snorkeling in caves(tunderball-007 cave), feeding the "swimming" pigs, swimming with sharks and taking in all the beauty of the "Exuma land & sea park", where you can look as much as you want - but do not touch(no fishing of any kind). Besides all of that Exuma has lots of friendly people, native restaurants, tennis, gulf, native arts and crafts, historical sites(buildings and monuments) and places to relax, dance, eat, drink and be merry.
