Exuma · Sports & events

Bahamian-built wooden sloops race in Elizabeth Harbour over several days in April, with the whole island watching from the shore and from anchored boats.

The yachts that winter off Stocking Island run their own week of dinghy races, beach volleyball and variety nights in early spring. Anyone can watch.

Guides pole the sand flats of Little Exuma and the Bight for bonefish year-round, with spring and autumn the strongest seasons. Expect a few hundred dollars for a day.

Rushing groups compete with drums, cowbells and costumes down the main street at Christmas and New Year — smaller than Nassau's and easier to see.
