For the freshest—and according to locals, best—conch salad and the coldest beer, look for the splatter-painted seaside shack a stone's throw from Grand Isle Resort.

You also can't get a better water view than here, and the beach is great; bring a swimsuit.
Blu on the Water is a must-have dining experience when visiting Great Exuma. Chef Ty Wong has crafted a delicious fusion of Asian and Bahamian dishes that will sweep you into culinary heaven.

Elvis Ferguson on VHF radio channel 16) from the Government Dock, which leaves on the hour during the day.
