Climb the working lighthouse for scenic views or swim in the warm, shallow bay. The short, scenic ferry ride from Nassau makes getting there easy. Enjoy included kayaks, paddleboards, water mats, and a floating trampoline, plus a freshly prepared Bahamian lunch. Relax in a shaded area or beach chair, and freshen up with a freshwater shower between swims. Want more adventure?
