Exumas Islands
The Exumas encompass a myriad of islands and cays that stretch
for hundreds of miles. The largest, Great Exuma and Little Exuma,
are home to the small community of several hundred island
inhabitants, who farm the land and welcome tourists. Visitors
usually arrive by yacht, as these islands offer legendary cruising
opportunities, and if you come without sails, you will be tempted
to hire a boat and make the most of the inviting waters. Most cays
are edged with towering palm trees and expanses of white powdery
beaches. The surrounding reefs have magical underwater gardens that
draw scuba divers and snorkellers. The main destination for divers
is the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, a 176-square-mile (456 sq km)
natural underwater preserve, that can only be reached by seaplane
or boat (charters can be arranged through the hotels).

Bahamas.
Money
The official currency is the Bahamian Dollar (BSD), which is
divided into 100 cents. The Bahamian Dollar is equal in value to
the US Dollar and both currencies are accepted throughout the
islands. Currency can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
many hotels. There are ATMs in the main tourist centres and credit
and debit cards are widely accepted in all the big resorts.
Travellers cheques can be changed at all banks, although those in
US Dollars receive the best rates. Banks tend to be open from
9.30am to 3pm (Monday to Thursday) and 9.30am to 5pm (Fridays).
