BEACHES & BOATING

For boating enthusiasts, our full-service marina can accommodate up to 38 boats and is located in the calm, sheltered waters off February Point. Residents and visitors benefit by having a safe and secure place to dock their boats for short or long term. Most people quickly find that getting around by boat is often easier and more enjoyable than by car. Please call or e-mail for information and current rates.
FISHING
For fishing amateurs and pros, Great Exuma is the ultimate destination for deep-sea, reef and bone-fishing. The island offers what we've all come to equate with classic Bahamas fishing - endless deep-blue shelves dropping to thousands of feet just minutes from your villa, hard white flats teeming with small to medium bones and shallow reef structures for snapper and lobster.
The perfect group or family excursion, a fishing trip either on boat or from the silky soft beaches is an experience not to be missed.
GOLF
February Point residents and visitors have access to the exclusive Greg Norman-designed Golf Club at Emerald Bay. Just 20 minutes north of our community, the championship 18-hole course boasts dramatic fairways winding through seaside dunes and six signature holes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Once you have teed off on this course, it will be obvious why it's considered one of the world's preeminent ocean-side golf courses.
TENNIS
Enjoy a refreshing morning or afternoon set of tennis at the spectacular February Point Tennis Club. We have two Laycold cushion-surfaced courts with net and lines to U.S.T.A specifications. The courts are well lit for evening play as well. Spectators can sit and relax in our Tennis Club lounge with a refreshing drink and cheer friends and family on from the sidelines. Memberships are available for daily, monthly or annual use.
SCUBA DIVING
Scuba diving doesn't get any better than off the shores of Great Exuma. From easy dives on shallow reefs of 15 to 50 feet, to walls plummeting thousands of feet deep, to sunken wrecks encrusted with a vast array of corals, sponges, urchins and other invertebrates, our dive professionals specialize in small group escorted trips. They also offer snorkel excursions, private charters and a PADI dive centre.
PRIVATE PILOTS
With clear skies nearly all day every day, flying into and around Great Exuma is an experience in itself. Excellent visibility and stunning island views make our location a haven for private pilots. Located just a few miles northwest of February Point, Exuma International Airport is your convenient point of entry when flying into Great Exuma
REGATTA
Imagine a tranquil expanse of blue ocean water speckled with schooners and sloops, their sails pregnant with a gentle sea breeze. Sails are billowing proudly as each vessel pushes toward the finish line and the coveted title of "Best of The Bahamas." The Bahamas Regatta, or The National Family Island Regatta as it is now known, is an island tradition established in the early 1950s. Held every third week in April, it continues to be an exhilarating spectacle held annually in Elizabeth Harbour, just off the shores of February Point. Much more than a race, locals and tourists alike sway to the sultry sounds of calypso, reggae and junkanoo and take in trendy fashion shows, participate in volleyball tournaments and indulge in delectable Bahamian cuisine.
