My, oh my, we may have a new “top 5” spot in the Bahamas! We spent two nights on a mooring ball at Cambridge Cay within the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park and we absolutely loved it! It had everything—peace, tranquility, great snorkeling, AND internet! The teen was pleased. But seriously, this little spot has access to some of the best snorkeling we’ve enjoyed yet and some little hiking trails—we would happily go back. The challenge—the sites are spread out, so you can either make some long hauls in the dinghy or shift anchorages to get closer; currents and tides need to be respected; and given the tides/currents, you really can’t rush this experience! We were very fortunate to be traveling with our friends on “No Limits” for this one. Since we have a small engine on our dinghy, we can’t go on plane with the whole family so they routinely took one of the kids with them so we could all run fast! They are also pro-socializers and organized happy hours to meet the other boaters. It was just such an overall great experience! I even had a cooking triumph with my first (successful!) attempt at making naan!
Highlights:
- Snorkeling Tom’s Elkhorn Reef, Coral Garden, Rocky Dundas, The Sea Aquarium, and Airplane Reef.
- Exploring the caves at Rocky Dundas, the Bell Rock Trail, Rachel’s Bubblebath, and the cairn garden.
- Sea life in the reefs and the moorings! We saw turtles, barracuda, a black tip reef shark, stingrays, and an eagle ray all from the mooring.
- People. Isn’t that what makes every experience better? We got to share it all with great people.
I took LOTS of photos and videos over our two days at this location. Here are some of my favorites!
