The 176-square-mile Exuma Cays Land and Sea National Park in the Bahamas, created in 1958, was the first land and sea park in the world, and is one of the most-successful marine parks on the planet. It is the first ‘no-take reserve' (all fishing is prohibited) in the wider Caribbean.
This stretch of pristine water, land and beaches is an ecological preserve and wildlife refuge famous for its breath-taking marine environment.
Scuba diving and snorkelling are popular here, and you can encounter nature first-hand with the endangered Bahamian iguanas, or catching a glimpse of the elusive hutia, with the assistance of one of the professional guides.
