The crystal clear waters of Great Exuma are home to abundant marine life, coral reefs and beautiful underwater gardens. The waters around this island are a diver's paradise with breathtaking underwater sights including underwater caves and grottos. Independent types can rent a boat and find hundreds of isolated islands and cays to explore. Yachtsmen are welcome to use the new dock. Palm Bay guests enjoy Four Season's rates at the Greg Norman Signature Golf Course and the staff is happy to arrange tee times for you. Notable festivals include the Bahamian Music and Heritage Festival in Georgetown and the Family Island Regatta.

Tourism activity to Exuma has increased due to new hotel openings, together with additions and renovations to existing Island resorts. Exuma has scored triple digit increases from 2003 to 2004 in "visitor stopovers" and "total nights sold". What is significant is the positive reaction of these visitors to the Island. Visitor spending, visitor (resort) nights spent on Exuma, and visitors staying in their own properties or leased properties all showed sizeable increases over other Bahamian Islands. Tourism growth for 2005 is projected to be at least a 5% growth rate.
