Woodstar Attractions Beaches, cays, blue holes, beach bars, and protected water

The island's best places,
within reach.

A dedicated guide to the places guests ask about most: the beach in front of the house, the national park at the waterline, the cays beyond George Town, and the meals worth the drive.

— The short listA few places we keep recommending

A useful map,
without the noise.

Woodstar sits in the quiet part of Little Exuma. Some days the best attraction is not leaving; other days, a short drive or boat ride opens the rest of the island.

— Tropic of Cancer Beach
i. — Tropic of Cancer Beach

The island's famous beach,
still often empty.

A long pale sweep of sand, five minutes by car, with the Tropic line drawn through the bay. Good for a morning walk, a family swim, or the photograph everyone asks you to send home.

— National park water
ii. — Moriah Harbour Cay National Park

Sand dunes, mangroves,
and protected shallows.

The park begins just offshore from Woodstar. Expect sandbars, turtle grass, coral, mangrove creeks, birds, conch, and water so clear the bottom seems closer than it is.

— Stocking Island
iii. — Chat 'n' Chill & Stocking Island

Stingrays, conch salad,
and a Sunday pig roast.

Reachable by boat from George Town. The stingrays glide close to the beach bar, the conch salad is the correct order, and Sunday brings the island's best-known pig roast.

— Reefs & blue holes
iv. — Reefs, blue holes & snorkel water

A few feet below the surface,
the island changes.

Snorkel reefs sit close to the shore, and deeper blue holes mark old limestone systems beneath the water. Go with a guide when currents, depth, or distance are uncertain.

— Little Exuma by road
v. — Forbes Hill, Williams Town & the south road

Quiet roads, small restaurants,
and local stops.

Drive south for Santanna's, Tropic Breeze, small beaches, and the feeling that the island has slowed the car down for you. Take cash; cards are not always welcome.

vi. — The northern cays

Pigs, nurse sharks,
grottoes, and sandbars.

The classic full-day Exuma itinerary lives farther north: swimming pigs, Compass Cay nurse sharks, Thunderball Grotto, Staniel Cay, and the pale sandbars between them.

Plan the week

Choose two big days,
then leave room for nothing.

The island is best when it is not over-scheduled. We can fold attractions into a practical rhythm around tides, weather, chef nights, and children.
