Bahamian dreaming in George Town
A gateway to the Exumas, George Town is a Bahamian paradise. The lively capital is perched on Great Exuma, the biggest island in the coral-based archipelago. As you sail into Elizabeth Harbour, you'll be greeted by a vision of aquamarine water and pastel-pink buildings. Whether you want to discover the island's colonial history, bask on a pristine beach or charter a boat and explore the cays, George Town vacation rentals provide an ideal setting for Bahamian getaways.
Dive into George Town's underwater wonderland
Set just off the coast of George Town, Stocking Island boasts some of the best beaches in the Bahamas. If you're scuba-certified, don't miss Angelfish Blue Hole, a 400-foot-deep underwater chasm that dazzles divers with vibrant coral, colorful sea sponges and, of course, teeming schools of angelfish. Seafood connoisseurs can head down to Government Dock, where sun-bronzed fishermen hawk shellfish, lobster, crab, conch and more. Pair your "catch of the day" with sunset cocktails on the deck of your George Town vacation rentals villa.
