Location matters on an early fishing morning
Great Exuma has resorts, hotels, villas, condos and apartments spread along the island. The right area depends on whether you value restaurants and services, a quiet beach, resort amenities or a shorter drive to your agreed fishing meeting point.
George Town
A convenient base for groceries, restaurants, banks, ferries and other island services. Ask each property about parking and driving time.
February Point
A gated waterfront area just outside George Town with vacation condos and villas. Access and amenities vary by property.
Hoopers Bay & nearby beaches
Beach rentals north of George Town can balance a quiet stay with access to town and the airport corridor.
Emerald Bay area
Resort-style stays farther north may include more on-site amenities. Allow extra time for meetings south of the area.
Little Exuma
A quieter base connected by bridge at the island’s southern end. Confirm travel distance before an early departure.
Private villa or apartment
Useful for families and longer stays. Check air conditioning, kitchen, access road, parking and backup communication.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long is the drive to George Town and the airport?
- Is a rental car recommended for this property?
- Is reliable mobile service or Wi-Fi available?
- Can breakfast or packed food be arranged for an early start?
- Are the advertised beach, pool and restaurant amenities currently open?
- What are the property’s current cancellation and storm policies?
Coordinate before your fishing day
Once you reserve a stay, send the property name or area to Stevie. He can clarify the meeting plan, whether you should arrange a taxi, and how much travel time to allow.
