Caribbean · The Bahamas · TRAVEL INSPIRATION
The famous Pig Beach is on Big Major Cay in the Exumas. The Bahamas also brings together Nassau's heritage, pink sand beaches on Harbour Island, Eleuthera's landscapes and nature parks spread across its islands.
YOUR JOURNEY, AT YOUR RHYTHM
Choose Nassau or the Exumas as your base and set aside separate days for the capital's heritage and an excursion to Big Major Cay. Confirm the departure port, transfers and whether the route includes Pig Beach in the Exumas.
For a trip focused on beaches and towns, combine Eleuthera with Harbour Island over several days. Arrange transfers separately and allow time for Glass Window Bridge, Dunmore Town and Pink Sands Beach.
If you want to combine heritage, beaches and a wide choice of hotels, consider Nassau and Paradise Island. Nassau is on New Providence; a bridge connects it to Paradise Island. You can dedicate one day to the historic downtown and Queen’s Staircase and another to the beach, without changing your island base.
The Exumas are not a single island: they include Great Exuma, Little Exuma and the Exuma Cays. Great Exuma is home to George Town and the international airport; a bridge connects it to Little Exuma. Big Major Cay, home to Pig Beach, is one of the cays and can only be reached by boat. Staying on Great Exuma does not mean staying next to Pig Beach.
Check that the excursion specifies Big Major Cay, its departure point and all included transfers. Trips are also offered from Nassau, but confirm the full route before booking. Compare the time spent travelling with the time at the places you want to see, and review the operator’s change or cancellation terms.
