There are two mooring fields available here, we anchored at the North end to be closer to the trails and beaches we wanted to see. The charts show that there were 4 mooring balls here however when we arrived there was one and it was broken. We spoke with the park warden when he came […]

Thunderball Grotto lies west of Staniel Cay. We were anchored off of Big Major Cay, next to Staniel, and dinghied over at low tide. Very popular time to go, so there were lots of guided tour boats but we anchored our dinghy off to the far right by some rocks (about waist high at low tide), [&hellip
Big Major Cay, what’s commonly referred to as “Pig Beach” in the Exumas. An uninhabited island home to about 10-20 swimming piggies!! These guys aren’t shy at all, as we pulled up to the island they dived right in to greet us. We also brought some sliced apples and grapes along with us, the
