Emerald Rock at Warderick Wells

Exuma Land and Sea Park

The Park, a no take zone by land and sea, was established in 1958 to preserve and maintain the delicate ecological balance of marine life in the Bahamas.

This is a direct quote from their literature. They also provide, for a charge, moorings throughout the different anchorages in the area, as well as wi-fi, which is only accessible if you are moored near the park headquarters.

There are many maintained and marked trails, as well as beautiful snorkeling opportunities. Unfortunately, the strong weather system that has kept us here the last 3 days, has also kept us out of the water. Hikes, however have been a daily activity, and yoga on the beach, and for the intrepid few- some kite-boarding and wind-surfing.

Two nights ago, we met some of our floating neighbors on the beach for a Happy Hour gathering. One young family on a charter was supposed to be back to Nassau by today, but the weather has been prohibitive. The rest of us, who are here for the season, pretty much take it in stride, and enjoy each sunset and appreciate each rain squall for it’s rinsing properties.
