Magical Exuma

When you visit the Exuma chain of islands in the Bahamas, something magical happens.
Robert Wilder felt it when he wrote Wind from the Carolinas, the story of the wealthy, pro-Royal cotton plantation owners who emigrated to Exuma after the American Revolution.
It's why world travelers like Jacque Cousteau, Jimmy Buffet, and the Royals have been lured to its shores.
This 365-island chain stands out as the jewel among Bahamian islands, its beauty difficult to match. Exuma real estate is some of the most spectacular in the Bahamas and there are some beautiful homes on the market, such as Atlantic View, a gem of a retreat perched above the dazzling Atlantic.
A sea kayaking and sailing paradise, Exuma has deserted white sand beaches and gin clear waters in the most exquisite shades of turquoise imaginable. The Cays (pronounced keys), stretch over 120 miles. The two main islands – Great and Little Exuma – are located on the southern tip.
Exuma real estate comprises local homes, vacation homes and vacant land. Exuma is home to the Land and Cay Park, the first such park in the world.
