Everything you need to know about getting to and navigating Great Exuma. From car rentals to the best time to buy groceries.

Getting There

Exuma International Airport (GGT) is your entry point to paradise.

Direct service from Miami (American), Atlanta (Delta), Charlotte (American), and Fort Lauderdale (Silver/Aztec).

Bahamasair and Western Air offer multiple daily 35-45 minute flights.

Flights are daylight-only; ensure your connections allow for arrival before sunset to avoid delays.

Essential for exploring. We recommend Airport Car Rental or Thompson’s. Book well in advance during peak season.

We drive on the LEFT side of the road. Most roads are two-lane; take it slow on the unpaved beach paths.

A Jeep or SUV is highly recommended for reaching the more secluded beaches like Coco Plum.

Located in George Town. Best selection of groceries. The supply boat arrives on Mondays—shop Tuesday for the freshest produce.

Top-tier butcher shop and deli. Perfect for stocking up for a villa BBQ.

Smitty’s and Bristol Wines are the main spots for spirits, wine, and local Kalik or Sands beer.

The George Town Community Clinic and the modern Doctors Hospital Health System clinic are available for non-emergencies.

In serious cases, medical evacuation to Nassau or Miami is required. Ensure your travel insurance covers med-evac.

While city water is treated, most locals and visitors prefer bottled water for drinking.

USD and Bahamian Dollars are 1:1 and used interchangeably. Cash is essential for small vendors and tips.

Most villas offer Wi-Fi, but expect slower speeds than the mainland. BTC and Aliv are local mobile providers.

Many shops and some restaurants close on Sundays. Plan your provisioning accordingly.
