Discover Great Exuma and its stretch of Cays, just an hour flight from Miami, are the favorite escape of savvy tropical travelers for its pristine beaches, stunning crystal-clear waters, and extraordinary nature. Ideally located on beautiful Emerald Bay, Grand Isle Resort & Residences is your gateway to exploring this island paradise. If you love the water and adventure, or just crave a quiet stretch of sunny beach, there is no other place quite like it. Exuma is home to two extensive national parks.
The Exuma Cays Land and Sea National Park is an ecological preserve and wildlife refuge. The Moriah Harbour Cay National Park is home to a variety of birds and its mangroves help protect marine life. Exuma vacations are ideal year-round as gentle winds help maintain a balmy and warm tropical climate. Summer temperatures range between 80—90 degrees, and winters are mild with temperatures rarely dropping below 78 degrees.
Whether you are searching for solitude, sand dollars, or a sunny spot for sunbathing, Exuma has dozens of beaches just waiting to be discovered. Start by exploring Emerald Bay Beach, our private one-mile crescent of shimmering white sand just steps from your villa. Emerald Bay is stunning and never fails to delight sunbathers, snorkelers and ocean swimmers.
Chat ‘N’ Chill® was born in 1998 as a day camp for people who lived on their boats in Elizabeth Harbour. Somewhere they could go for great food, volleyball, a chilled-out atmosphere and even Sunday church without needing a car or a taxi.
Not much has changed since then except our reputation – we are humbled by our visitors who have helped catapult us to 'world famous' status! Salt-encrusted travelers from all over the world chill with the locals here over beers and conch salad. Visitors shop for gifts at our Chat ‘N’ Chill® Beach Boutique. Couples from all over the world fall in love all over again renewing their vows.
We’re proud to say that Chat ‘N’ Chill® was – and still is - the quintessential laid-back, bare-feet beach bar for real beach bums. Come chill with us!
Contact For More DetailsAlso known as Tropic of Cancer Beach, this exquisite sandy stretch is a USA Today Reader’s Choice Award winner in the Best Caribbean Beach category. The longest beach in Exuma and just outside of Williams Town, it’s off the beaten track but worth the effort. In addition to snorkeling and sunbathing, plan on a selfie at the Tropic of Cancer latitude marker.
Located at Mt. Thompson, Three Sisters Beach has interesting lore. They say a glimpse of these formations from this memorable beach brings good luck and romance; they’re beautiful at sunset too. The legendary rocks are also a habitat for colorful marine life making this white-sand beach an ideal snorkeling spot just 12 miles north of George Town.
Just a short ride north from the resort, this long powder-soft beach features, at low tide, sandbars seeming to go on forever. Explore the calm waters for sand dollars – but leave them in their vibrant blue home. Bring a picnic and enjoy one of the island’s best beach bars, all just a short walk away from Grand Isle Resort.
