In addition to the many activities the island has to offer, here are some things to do on and around the surrounding islands:

Go deepsea fishing with local guides. Fish on the Banks in your own boat, available from Compass Cay with lodging or with a guide. Spearfish using a Hawaiian sling. Bonefish the many flats in the Pipe Creek area. Picnic, explore and shell on the many deserted beaches on the surrounding islands. Dive the numerous reefs in the Pipe Creek area. Snorkel the caves at Rocky Dundas and the famous Thunderball Grotto, featured in the James Bond movie. Visit the Exumas Land and Sea Park Headquarters at Warderick Wells. Explore the deserted islands and beaches within the Park, still so pristine and beautiful because it is a "no take zone" both from land and from the sea. Remember, "take only pictures and leave only footprints". Snorkel or dive the many marked coral formations within the Exuma Land and Sea Park. Since the Park is a no take zone, trophy fish abound for your visual pleasure. Take the Whaler about five miles south to Sampson Cay for lunch, groceries, fuel, or ice cream. Visit the village of Staniel Cay, about 12 miles south. There is a bar, a restaurant, several shops and grocery stores, a medical clinic, and a church on this island of about eighty Bahamians and about one hundred vacation home owners. Staniel Cay has the closest public landing strip. Finally, feed Emily, the swimming pig on the beach at Big Major's Spot.
