Explore Staniel Cay
THINGS TO DO, BEACHES TO SEA
Staniel Cay is a secluded island in the heart of the Exumas, known for crystal-clear waters, untouched beaches, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, this is where it all begins.
THUNDERBALL GROTTO
Another famous attraction is the Thunderball Grotto, which is a unique underwater cave full of exotic marine life and beautiful coral reefs. Featured in several different movies such as the hit James Bond 'Thunderball' and 'Into The Blue'. This is a great adventure for snorkelers to explore!
RACHEL'S BUBBLEBATH
A natural tidal pool tucked into the north end of Compass Cay. When the tide pushes in and the swell rolls off Exuma Sound, waves break over the rock ledge and fill the pool with warm white foam. Sit in it, let it churn around you, and understand how it got the name. Time your visit for an incoming high tide, when the bubbles are at their best. Same island as the nurse sharks, so most people do both in one trip.
